Losing and losing, for the better the player, the bigger the blow.

The result of this failure is a huge blow to those excellent players who always work hard and never give up.

Because the better the player, the stronger the desire to win, the more they want to win, the more eager to succeed, and the players who are average or even bad, they will feel that failure and loss are common, on the one hand, because they are used to losing, and on the other hand, they will also find excuses for themselves, and they will take losing on their own ability for granted, which is not aggressive.

Shafi is 29 years old this year, this is the most experienced and capable goalkeeper, and his performance in this Asian Cup is also excellent, which makes Shafi more expectant for himself and the Jordanian team, hoping to lead the Jordanian team to continue to move forward.

With the current strength of the Jordanian team, it is almost impossible to enter the World Cup from the encirclement of other Asian giants, so for Shafi and the Jordanian team, the Asian Cup is their biggest stage to show themselves.

In the next Asian Cup, Shafi will be 33 years old by then, and it is difficult to say whether he will still have this physical fitness and condition by then. It can be said that this year's Asian Cup is the Asian Cup at the peak of his career. If we fail to create a miracle this time, then the next Asian Cup will be even more difficult to say......

It can be said that this Asian Cup will be the last stage for him Shafi to show his ability to the fans. It's a pity that now Jordan has been eliminated, and Shafi will say goodbye to this stage completely.

In addition to the national team games, Shafi's stage at the club is even smaller, and he is now playing in the UAE league, although being able to play in the UAE league is already quite good for a Jordanian player. However, Shafi still has regrets, he is eager to play in Europe, to go to that star-studded stage to show his football talent, but unfortunately, when he came to prominence seven years ago, there were European scouts who paid attention to him, but until now he has not been able to realize his dream of playing in Europe, and he has not been able to achieve it when he is in his twenties when he is most suitable to play in Europe, he is now twenty-nine years old, and it is even more unlikely that he will get the opportunity to play in Europe.

Therefore, judging from Shafi's entire career, in this Asian Cup, with the Jordanian team being eliminated at this moment, Shafi has lost the opportunity to show his strength on a bigger stage. After that, he will play for the UAE team for the rest of his life, and then in a few years, maybe he will return to Jordan to play in Jordan, or he will retire and never have the opportunity to show his ambitions again.

The thought of this made Shafei despair.

In this Asian Cup, the Jordanian team performed well, Shafi himself was also in the best condition, Shafi and the Jordanian team could have created better results, but, but, he just ran into the Chinese team with Yang Fan...... Without Yang Fan, Shafi believes that the Jordanian team has a great hope of eliminating the Chinese team to advance!

Why? Why did he run into Yang Fan's Chinese team? He was unwilling.

"Hi-" Just when Sha Fei was stunned and frustrated, he suddenly heard someone greet him, this person's palm was handed over, patted him on the shoulder, he subconsciously looked, but was surprised to see Yang Fan standing in front of him.

"Do you know English?" Yang Fan asked in English.

Shafi only knew Arabic, not English, and he couldn't understand what Yang Fan said, so Shafi shook his head and said he didn't understand.

In this way, Yang Fan originally wanted to talk to Shafi and comfort this person, but the Jordanian goalkeeper won Yang Fan's respect with his excellent performance. He didn't expect that he would be able to meet such an outstanding goalkeeper in the Asian Cup, but this Jordanian goalkeeper has brought a lot of obstacles to him and the Chinese team, whether it is Shafi or the Jordanian team, they are all respectable opponents.

Since he couldn't communicate, Yang Fan didn't say much, he took off his jersey and handed it to Sha Fei, while also pointing to Sha Fei's jersey.

This action does not need to be communicated in words to be understood. Of course, Shafei understands what this means, Yang Fan is looking for himself to exchange jerseys!

After he reacted, he was surprised, very surprised, as a goalkeeper, it is rare to exchange jerseys with opponents, even if there is, this is an exchange between the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper, which is already rare, not to mention, this is a striker who came to him to exchange jerseys, which is even rarer, in addition, you must know that this is Yang Fan took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him, which shocked him even more.

Who is Yang Fan?!

The world's most valuable penalty star, worth up to 150 million pounds, is the number one star in football today, although Shafi performed well in this Asian Cup, but the Asian Cup is over, and even with the Jordan team being eliminated today, his Shafi's name is estimated to be forgotten soon, compared with Yang Fan, if Yang Fan is the sky Haoyue, he Shafi is a candlelight...... Therefore, Sha Fei never expected that Yang Fan, the world's football star and the captain of the Chinese team, the opponent of the Jordanian team today, would take the initiative to exchange jerseys with him!

You must know that in the previous two games, Yang Fan did not exchange jerseys once. And according to Shafi's understanding, even in the European arena, Yang Fan rarely takes the initiative to exchange jerseys with opponents, the only few times, Yang Fan once with former Manchester United teammate Rooney, once with the Chinese team and Portugal warm-up matches, Yang Fan and former club teammate Cristiano Ronaldo!

So, at this moment, Shafi does have a feeling of flattery.

"Is it okay?" Yang Fan asked.

Shafi didn't understand, but he reacted to the meaning, and of course he wouldn't refuse. The Jordanian goalkeeper quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Yang Fan. At the same time, he solemnly took the jersey handed over by Yang Fan.

Yang Fan wore Shafi's goalkeeper jersey on his shoulders, and Shafi's shoulders wore the jersey of this star.

On both sides of today's game, the hands of the two people were tightly clasped together.

Although Yang Fan didn't speak again, Sha Fei still felt Yang Fan's attitude from this action: he won Yang Fan's respect!

On the football field, it is also based on strength.

Feeling Yang Fan's attitude, Sha Fei also had mixed feelings in his heart, which seemed to dilute some of the sadness brought about by the elimination of the Jordanian team.

After shaking hands, Yang Fan gave Shafi a thumbs up, and finally took the initiative to hug the Jordanian goalkeeper and pat him on the shoulder again to show comfort.

At this moment, Sha Fei was really moved, he was proud of himself, he was able to win Yang Fan's respect, he was proud of himself. At the same time, he also maintains respect for Yang Fan, this respect is not because of Yang Fan's worth and identity, but because of Yang Fan's attitude towards him Shafei, a little-known player, Yang Fan does not have the arrogance of any big-name star at this moment.

At the moment, there is only a feeling of sympathy.

Feeling Yang Fan's kindness, Sha Fei's face had a smile, maybe he will not have the opportunity to show on the stage of the competition in the future, but, today's game, he played a lot, he blocked Yang Fan's many shots, and after the game, Yang Fan also took the initiative to exchange jerseys, which is enough to make him proud, after he retires, he can also hold the child, proudly and proudly brag about this history to them......

After exchanging jerseys with Yang Fan, Shafi finally recovered from the negative emotions of defeat for a while, and he grabbed Yang Fan's jersey and raised his arms to thank the Jordanian fans in the stands.

Jordanian fans also stood up and applauded his heroics.

"Yang Fan actually took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Sha Fei...... Chinese commentator He Wei was also surprised when he saw this scene, "It seems that Sha Fei's excellent performance today still left a deep impression on Yang Fan, otherwise Yang Fan would not have taken the initiative to exchange jerseys with Sha Fei!"

Yang Fan and Sha Fei exchanged jerseys, and the two shook hands and hugged. Liu Jianhong said, "At this moment, I think of a word, called sympathy! In today's game, Yang Fan is the hero of the Chinese team, and on the Jordanian team's side, although Jordan has been eliminated, Shafi is also the hero of the Jordanian team. ”

"We saw Yang Fan take the initiative to exchange jerseys with Shafi. When the Jordanian commentator saw this scene, he was surprised and then excited, "Our captain Shafi, he won the respect of the opponent with his outstanding performance, our young man, although we were eliminated, but you have won the respect of the opponent and won the respect of Yang Fan! Jordan can leave the Asian Cup with his head held high...... We also pay tribute to Yang Fan for his impeccable work ethic and humility as the world's most famous player......"

I don't know how depressed some commentators in Europe will be when they hear Jordanian commentators praise Yang Fan for his humility.

The Chinese team eliminated the Jordan team 2-1 and reached the semifinals of the Asian Cup, which is the first time in seven years that the Chinese team has reached the semifinals of the Asian Cup after 704 years after China's domestic Asian Cup.

This detonated the huge enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

The day after the end of the Chinese team's game, almost all the media in China, whether it is sports media, comprehensive media, or even entertainment media, reported the news of the Chinese team's reaching the semifinals of the Asian Cup on the front page or on important pages.

On the Internet, they were even more swiped by excited fans, who excitedly vented their excitement.

The Spring Festival of 2o11 is coming, and the news that the Chinese team has reached the semi-finals has also been praised by the media, saying that it is the best New Year's gift for fans across the country, and joked that in the case of Chinese football always hurting people's hearts, this year's New Year is particularly worth cherishing.

Domestic fans are celebrating, and the leaders of the Chinese Football Association who accompanied the team to the Asian Cup are also full of praise for the players. The Chinese team also held a small banquet to celebrate their promotion to the semi-finals.

However, after the banquet ended and the leaders of the Football Association left, Gao Hongbo gathered the players together, and watched some of the players get drunk, and Gao Hongbo was even more angry.

Although the Chinese team eliminated the Jordan team and advanced to the semi-finals, he was not satisfied with the performance of the players today. If it weren't for the luck of the Chinese team, they might have conceded goals in the final stage of the game, and once they were equalized by the Jordanians, with the situation at that time, the Chinese team was most likely to be eliminated by the Jordanian team.

The angry Gao Hongbo blocked the players with a crackling reprimand.

After being reprimanded, these players didn't dare to fight back, even if some players who drank high, they didn't dare to 'play drunk' at this time, and the pride just now was also gone, today's game was indeed very dangerous, and they were scolded for being bloody.

Gao Hongbo is also purposeful, he took this opportunity to pour cold water on these players, ring the alarm bell, and avoid these players from fluttering because the team reached the semi-finals. It should be said that Gao Hongbo's current criticism is relatively timely, and he was praised by the leaders of the Football Association for a while, coupled with the praise in the media that everyone watched, some players have been fluttering, if this emotion is not stopped and guided and controlled, it is a big hidden danger for the Chinese team's subsequent games.

Gao Hongbo did not blindly criticize the players, and gave the players half a day off the next day.

After a half-day break, the players gathered in the conference room to watch the second quarter-final matchup together in front of the TV.

The match was played against Oceanian side Australia against 2oo7 Asian Cup champions Iraq.

The winner of this match will be the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals of this Asian Cup.

Because of the excellent performance of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, this has also made the domestic attention to the Asian Cup very high, in addition to fans, some people who have rarely paid attention to football before have also begun to pay attention to the Asian Cup.

Therefore, they were surprised when they saw that China's opponents in the semi-finals would be the winner of Australia and Iraq.

One of the small surprises is that Iraq actually reached the quarterfinals, the football team of this country that is still in war actually performed well, and then when they learned that Iraq was still the champion of the last Asian Cup, they were even more surprised, and they couldn't help but sigh that Iraq was able to become the Asian champion under such a difficult situation, which is admirable.

Another surprise is almost a common question mark for 'non-football fans': Isn't Australia a team from Oceania? Why did it actually participate in the Asian Cup? What is this a swollen thing? You must know that Australia is not a small country, as the largest country in Oceania, their economic strength is very strong, and their land area is also vast, and the football of such a country is actually a member of the AFC and participates in the Asian Cup, which gives many people who do not know the situation a very blank feeling.
