When Yang Fan was examined in the hospital, in Qatar, or in the context of West Asia, reflections and lamentations about West Asian football were flooding the media. In fact, this kind of mourning has begun to ferment when Qatar is out of the group stage, and with the final release of the semi-finals, this sad argument has reached a peak.

After the Chinese team defeated Jordan, the other three quarter-finals were also played.

Australia beat Iraq 1:O in extra time, and it was Colwill who scored the winning goal for Australia.

Japan beat Uzbekistan 3-2 with their number one star Shinji Kagawa scoring twice.

South Korea also defeated Iran 1:o in extra time.

As a result, the top four Central and Western Asian teams were all wiped out, with East Asian teams occupying three spots and Australia occupying one.

China's opponent in the semi-finals is Australia, and the other semi-final is the East Asian Civil War, where Japan takes on South Korea.

There are two semi-finals in the Asian Cup, a third-place or four-place final, and a final to be played, which is the real highlight, but there is nothing to do in West Asia, whether it is the ambitious host Qatar or the traditional powerful Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, they all went home early, which made the West Asian media mourn......

In fact, at this moment, the media has been in-depth analysis of this Asian Cup, which is regarded as a new reshuffle of the Asian power map, first of all, Australia in the top four, the "Kangaroo Army" showed strong strength, and the Australian team added a ray of brightness to the Asian Cup, including a semi-final "Taiji Tiger" The semi-finals with Japan as an East Asian civil war, interpreting the strength of East Asia, and the Chinese team under the leadership of their superstar captain Yang Fan, is undoubtedly the most special team in the Asian Cup, if there is no Yang Fan, the strength of this team can only be said to be average, but, with Yang Fan, the Chinese team has become a team that no team in Asia does not want to face, in the words of the "Team Newspaper", the Chinese team is a special place for a team of ten people to collectively defend a superstar. The Times even joked that the Chinese team was a lion leading a herd of sheep, but of course this joke was a little less serious and hurt the feelings of other Chinese players.

East Asia is strong, Australia is also aggressive, and as for the West Asian team, it can only be described as declining!

There are 3 teams that have eaten zero eggs, in addition to India, that is, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait from West Asia, especially the former Asian hegemon Saudi Arabia is the first team to be eliminated, the host Qatar is ambitious, not bad for money, they not only invited the coach Mechu who brought Senegal to the quarterfinals in O2, but also spared no expense to invite mercenaries to join, and used sub-calculations in the group stage, but in the end, the group was out.

Turning over the history of the Asian Cup, except for Israel, which later "broke away from Asia and joined Europe", which won the championship in 1964, the 13 championship trophies from 1956 to 2oo7 were all divided by East Asian and West Asian teams. Among them, South Korea won the first two championships, Iran achieved three consecutive championships from 1968-76, Kuwait won the championship in 198o, and then Saudi Arabia won two consecutive championships, when the West Asian team monopolized the Asian Cup, Japan from East Asia was lying on the back, and finally stood at the top of Asia under the leadership of Offt in 1992, marking the real rise of Japanese football, in other words, the West Asian team in Asia is not only facing South Korea, but also facing the challenge of Japan. In fact, Japan won the championship twice in 2ooo and 2oo4, and now the situation of three East Asian teams encircling Australia, and finally the possibility of East Asian teams reaching the top is very great, so that East Asian teams will win the championship 7 times, and West Asian teams will win 8 times, it seems that the west wind overpowers the east wind, but since entering the 9o, there have been three championships in the hands of Japan.

Iraq won the last Asian Cup, which may be the most magical championship in the history of the Asian Cup, and it is Saudi Arabia that competes for the championship with Iraq, but South Korea and Japan also reached the semi-finals.

As the so-called 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, the 1996 Asian Cup can be called the grave of East Asian teams, occupying the top four is the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran, and in the 1/4 finals, Japan o to 2 was picked by Kuwait, Iran defeated South Korea 6-2, China lost to Saudi Arabia 3-4, at that time, I don't know how many media and fans have sung elegy for the East Asian team, but the heavy defeat in the Asian Cup at that time did not prevent South Korea and Japan from reaching the World Cup in France two years later. On the contrary, in today's West Asia, when the 2o1o World Cup and the Asian Cup are collectively lost in a row, and can only look up to see the East Asian teams moving forward, this is no longer accidental, but a comprehensive malaise of the West Asian team.

West Asian teams were completely wiped out in the Asian Cup, and they are also declining in the World Cup.

Looking back at the history of Asian teams hitting the World Cup, for most of the time, it was half of East Asia and half of West Asia. In the 1954 World Cup, South Korea represented Asia in two heavy defeats, O-9 Hungary and O-7 Turkey, and interestingly, South Korea also had a player with glasses in the team. The first time that an Asian team made a splash in the World Cup was also completed by an East Asian team, that is, in the 1966 World Cup, North Korea defeated Italy to reach the quarterfinals, and for a long time after that, Asian football was accompanied by the prince in the World Cup, but on the issue of who participated in the World Cup as an Asian representative, East Asia and West Asia had a very tacit understanding. In 1986, South Korea and Iraq competed, and although they did not make it out of the group, the Koreans made Maradona suffer, and Pele commented after the game: "The Koreans kicked Maradona like they cut down a tree." After the Iraqi team returned from Mexico, many players were imprisoned in a black room by Saddam's eldest son, Uday. Four years later, in the summer of Italy, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates appeared on the World Cup stage, and in 1994, the West Asian team that accompanied South Korea into the World Cup was replaced by Saudi Arabia, the two Asian teams in this World Cup are very powerful, South Korea scored two goals in Germany, Saudi Arabia reached the round of 16 with Ovilan's thousands of miles to ride alone, and it is precisely because of the outstanding performance in the World Cup in the United States, when the 98 France World Cup was expanded, the Asian team was given 4 places, which has a large part of Saudi Arabia's credit, but this is the only glory of the West Asian team in the World Cup, and it is also the last glory so far。

In the 98 France World Cup, the four teams representing Asia collectively languished, Japan lost all three games in the second competition, which was considered to have paid tuition, South Korea's Ha Seok-bum became the first player to get a red card for tackling people behind his back, Saudi Arabia got 1 point on South Africa, and only Iran defeated the political rival United States in a battle of "significance", the only victory for the Asian team. However, France in '98 was a watershed for East and West Asian teams, but the East Asian power represented by South Korea and Japan is getting stronger and stronger, and if the O2 World Cup has a home factor, then the results achieved in 2O1O make everyone have nothing to say. On the other hand, the West Asian team, Saudi Arabia, as the only West Asian fruit, was pierced by Germany 8 times in O2, and the only flag in West Asia in 2oo6 was replaced by Iran, and the result did not fight for the West Asian team, and returned home with the fourth place in the group.

When the West Asian team was absent from the South Africa World Cup, it was not accidental, with the steady progress of South Korea and Japan, Australia really "wolf", the West Asian team in the World Cup to break through their own luxury hope, coupled with the Chinese team because of the existence of Yang Fan and the emergence of the army, in the future for a long time, West Asian football is difficult to be optimistic.

East Asia is so strong, which makes West Asia very depressed, three of the teams that enter the top four, three are from East Asia, one is an outsider Australia, if you choose which team to win the championship from these four teams, West Asians would rather choose Australia now, so at least they look better.

Therefore, the semi-finals between the Chinese team and Australia are particularly eye-catching, of course, because of Yang Fan, this match was originally highly anticipated, but now for special reasons, West Asians have become supporters of Australia.

Everyone knows the key to the Chinese team trying to get past Australia, or conversely, Australia must be careful of Yang Fan if they want to eliminate the Chinese team.

Yang Fan's every move has attracted much attention.

The news that he had withdrawn from training with an injury at the training ground immediately caused a media uproar.

Yang Fan underwent a medical examination at a hospital in Doha.

In addition to Pei Wei, the head of the team's medical team, and Gao Hongbo, the head coach, he was accompanied by Fu Bo, the team's assistant coach.

When the four people came out of the hospital and were about to get in the car and leave, they were startled by the scene in front of them:

About thirty or forty reporters crowded the entrance to the hospital, and the hospital security guards were sweating profusely, and they could barely control the crowd if it weren't for the temporary police officers who helped maintain order. Especially when Yang Fan and the other four people appeared at the door of the hospital hall......

When they saw Yang Fan and others coming out of the hospital, the reporters no longer ignored the police's obstruction. The waves are coming up. They threw their questions with the microphone to Yang Fan and Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team.

"There is news that Yang Fan was injured at the training ground, how is his injury?"

"Mr. Gao Hongbo, please. Is Yang Fan recovering from an old injury? Does this have anything to do with his hasty comeback?"

"Can you easily reveal what the results of the test are?"

"Mr. Yang Fan, how are your injuries?"

"Will Yang Fan be able to catch up with Australia, Mr. Gao Hongbo?"

"Young, will you miss the game against Australia?"

"Excuse me, what ......is Yang Fan's injury?"

Gao Hongbo had discussed it before, including Yang Fan, everyone should not be interviewed by the media and not say anything, which would be more vivid and would make Australians suspicious.

There is no doubt that Yang Fan is the number one star of the Asian Cup, and his participation in the Asian Cup has also made this continental competition, which is not so popular in the world, suddenly attract attention, and it is conceivable how much attention Yang Fan's injury can arouse.

Some topics were even almost passed to their mouths, Yang Fan had to turn his head, raise his hand to avoid these handed long guns and short guns, and the same treatment as him was the head coach Gao Hongbo, and finally, with the help of security personnel and the police, they were able to get rid of the entanglement of these reporters, and almost escaped into the car.

"It's horrible. Fu Bo was a little shocked, he glanced at Yang Fan, obviously the reason for all this was caused by this person, Yang Fan's influence was too great, he was injured, and it caused an earthquake-like effect, however, Fu Bo was still a little puzzled: "I didn't expect so many reporters, how did those media know?"

Gao Hongbo shook his head: "Yang Fan must have been concerned, his every move can't escape the eyes of reporters, he was injured in training, this is what many people see, and they can't hide it if they want to." ”

"Isn't that good, Gao Gui you don't want to inform the media. Pei Wei touched his head, which was almost bald, and teased while wiping his sweat.

Yang Fan just grinned and didn't say anything. To tell the truth, Yang Fan disagrees with head coach Gao Hongbo's plan to use his 'injury' to make a fuss, yes, Australia is a relatively strong opponent, but Yang Fan is not afraid, in his mind, he 'cheats' to confuse the opponent, so that the enemy is weak, so that he is not very used to it.

Of course, this is the head coach's idea, and since the head coach has decided to do so, Yang Fan can only cooperate. He doesn't care, as long as he can play. In addition, this kind of smoke bomb and psychological warfare are very common in football games, and Yang Fan is not too surprised by this.

An hour later, when Yang Fan had returned to the hotel where he was staying to rest, the major media had already published the latest news in the form of an extra--- afternoon of the same day, Yang Fan was accompanied by head coach Gao Hongbo, assistant coach Fu Bo and the Chinese team doctor to Doha Royal Third Hospital for examination. The results of the examination are still unknown, but there is news that Yang Fan withdrew due to injury in the team's training, and then rushed to the hospital for examination, which is really contemplative - Yang Fan's injury is not optimistic?!

After the news broke, it caused a wave of panic in China, and fans were worried.

Yang Fan is now the backbone of the fans' hearts, the hope of the team to continue to move forward, everyone knows the importance of Yang Fan to the Chinese team, when about to face the tough Australia, Yang Fan was injured?

The most direct reaction to the impact of Yang Fan's injury rumors is that several famous betting institutions in the world immediately adjusted the odds of the Chinese team to win the championship and the odds of the semi-final match between the Chinese team and Australia: all the changes in the odds show that with the unexpected incident of Yang Fan's injury, the prospects of the Chinese team have become bleak, and the betting institutions are obviously not optimistic about the Chinese team, and they are now the four teams with the highest odds to enter the final four.

The hotel where the Australian team stayed.

Australia's head coach Osijek, who was watching and analyzing the video footage of the Chinese team's previous games, was surprised to hear the news reported by his assistant.

"What did you say, Yang Fan was injured?" Osijek exclaimed and asked.

"Yes, that's right. The assistant coach nodded with excitement and joy on his face.
