Chapter 563: Reaching the Top Eight!
"Hat-trick !!"
Mortenson yelled: "Hat-trick! He really scored a hat-trick! When Yang Fan scored two goals in the first half, I knew that Yang Fan would try to score a hat-trick! He would definitely try his best to score a hat-trick in the second half! Sure enough, I don't know what words to use to describe a guy who can score goals at this level, some people say that he is from an alien planet, I think this is the only reasonable explanation." ”
When Yang Fan faced the coach's seat in Uzbekistan again and stretched out three fingers towards it, the Chinese fans in the stands also went crazy. They waved their arms, stomped their feet, and let out a deafening shout: "Yang Fan! hat! Yang Fan! hat!
The commentators were crazy one by one, they stood up and shouted frantically, and sent all kinds of praise to the Chinese star, putting all the words of praise on the captain of the Chinese team.
In the 79th minute, Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team, replaced Yang Fan with Yang Lin, allowing him to accept the cheers of the Chinese fans and give the team captain the highest courtesy!
After seeing the sign of changing Yang Fan, all the fans of the Chinese team stood up from their seats, the whole stadium was boiling, and the stands were swept by continuous thunderous applause.
The fans of the Chinese team, Chinese journalists, journalists from some European and American countries, as well as some neutral fans at the scene, and even some fans of the opponent Uzbekistan, they all stood up and gave them a standing ovation. Yang Fan used his wonderful ball skills to even impress these Uzbek fans.
Yang Fan walked to the sidelines, raised his hands and applauded, in response to the applause of the fans of the Chinese team, this feeling is great, once upon a time, wearing the national team jersey to fight, to accept such cheers, is Yang Fan's dream of the scene, now, this situation, right in front of him, Yang Fan, who is used to seeing the big scene, can't help but be a little short of breath excitedly.
Serving the country is the most passionate soul war song in the heart of every good man!
More Uzbek fans in the stands looked at Yang Fan with helpless eyes, they were already afraid, they were scared by Yang Fan, and at this time, seeing Yang Fan being replaced, many Uzbek fans breathed a sigh of relief. That guy put a lot of pressure on them on the pitch.
Yang Fan went off the field, and the applause in the stands also stopped, but it was replaced by the shouts of "Yang Fan" of Chinese fans. When Yang Fan arrived on the bench, seeing that the fans were so enthusiastic, he had to stand up and applaud the fans many times in a row to thank the fans.
That's how Chinese fans are thanking Yang Fan.
The current environment of Chinese football is not optimistic, in 1997 Chinese football defeated Jinzhou, the domestic media had launched a big discussion on whether the national football team belongs to the first-class or second-rate, and the final second-rate theory is biased, but at least for the national football team to find a way to escape responsibility. 13 years later, the positioning of Chinese football is no longer a choice between first-class and second-rate, but from second-rate to third-rate. In fact, if it weren't for Yang Fan's comeback, the Chinese team's biggest possibility would be out of the group, in the team's most critical moment, Yang Fan stepped forward, he led the team forward as the leader of the first team, and slaughtered Uzbekistan, which had won the previous two games, in this game, which made the Chinese fans very angry. They simply love Yang Fan to death.
As long as Yang Fan is there, they don't have to worry about not winning the game, they don't have to worry about the goal, for the fans of the Chinese team, what they have to do at the moment is to cheer for the goal and cheer for the victory.
The camera gives a close-up of the stands, in the main stand of the Qatar University Stadium, a huge No. 1o jersey of the Chinese team swaying violently in the wind.
The surname on it is the pride of all Chinese fans - yang!
In this game, the Chinese team ushered in a big victory.
Yang Fan scored a hat-trick in the game, Qu Bo converted a penalty, and in the final moments of the second half, Yu Tao took advantage of a chaotic opportunity in the box to score a goal.
In the end, Uzbekistan didn't even score a face-saving goal in front of the Chinese team, and was beaten O:5.
After the game, Yang Fan was blocked by reporters in the mixed area, and everyone had to say how it felt to score a hat-trick in the Asian Cup.
Yang Fan's answer was: "Wearing the national team jersey to score a goal, it feels even more different, and the hat trick is even more exciting." We played well today, our team-mates did well and we deserved to win. ”
As the leader of the first team, he pointed out that the victory of this game was the result of the joint efforts of the whole team, and after speaking, he directly waved his hand and rejected the reporters who asked questions, and then quickly walked away.
In the face of the overall victory, he is not willing to be too high-profile, he is not willing to let himself stand out too much. For Yang Fan, he doesn't need those vanities now, his status in football is recognized, he is NO1. Therefore, Yang Fan now hopes that the outside world can give applause to the whole Chinese team, and in this game, the performance of other players is also worthy of this applause.
The media that couldn't interview Yang Fan had to interview other Chinese team players, and everyone seemed very happy, excited, and excited.
Among them, the words of Yang Fan's partner Gao Lin on the front line represent the meaning that the whole team wants to express: "It was the captain who led us to victory! With the captain here, we will continue to advance towards victory!"
The reporters also know very well that Yang Fan is indeed the leader of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team won under the leadership of Yang Fan, so they agree with the first half of the Chinese players, and they pay attention to the second half of the sentence.
From these words, it can be heard that the momentum of this team is now, and it can be heard that the morale of the players of the Chinese team is now high, they seem to be very confident now, and they are fearless!
That's right, it's fearless!
This sentence gives people the feeling that all the players firmly believe that with the leadership of captain Yang Fan, the Chinese team will continue to move forward, and no matter what obstacles are in front of them, they will be able to overcome the obstacles and march towards victory!
Everyone knows what level the Chinese team is, when Yang Fan was injured, the Chinese team was beaten 0-2 in the half game with Qatar, and after Yang Fan came back, he turned the tide, and in the end, if it wasn't for the Qatari people's off-the-board moves, the Chinese team would have won that game.
And this big victory with Uzbekistan shows everyone this: the Chinese team with Yang Fan is very different!
Yang Fan can make the performance of the Chinese team directly to a higher level!
Yang Fan made the morale of the whole Chinese team high!
Now this team is completely a fighting team with high morale and screaming!
After the game, the Chinese media were cheering for the Chinese team's 5-0 slaughter of the powerful Uzbekistan, and surpassed Uzbekistan in points to qualify as the group leader.
Chinese fans cheered as if they were celebrating the Chinese New Year.
In Group A, although the host Qatar defeated Kuwait 3:O in the last game, it could not change the fate of their elimination, the host was eliminated without qualifying in the group stage, and Qatar won the right to host the 2o22 World Cup, which made Qatar's group exit particularly dazzling and eye-catching.
In fact, when the match between Qatar and Kuwait was going on, their head coach Mechu, and all the Qatari fans almost did not pay attention to the game with Kuwait, anyway, they and Kuwait are good brothers, and they have done their work in advance, there is definitely no problem in winning, the problem is that they want to qualify, not only to win Kuwait, but also to count on Uzbekistan to win the Chinese team, so these people are paying attention to the game between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan.
However, the Chinese team scored in the opening 30 seconds and led Uzbekistan 1-0, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the Qataris.
As the game progressed, Qatar's desperation continued to rise, and at the end of the first half, the Chinese team led Uzbekistan 3-0.
This left the Qataris desperate.
What is the most painful despair? Some people say that it gives hope, but at the last moment it kills everything, which is the most desperate.
Qataris must not agree with this statement, because their personal experience tells everyone that the most desperate thing is to despair from the beginning, and with the passage of time, despair is enough to reach a higher level, there is no hope at all, only more despair!
That's the most desperate thing.
What's more, it is quite ironic that this desperate experience of the Qataris is still obtained by their disgraceful means, the last game with the Chinese team, if the Qataris do not play tricks, the Qataris will directly lose both games and go out of the group, at that time it is time to accept fate, and there is no need to suffer this kind of torture in the last game of the group stage. Tell me, isn't that ironic......
Although Uzbekistan lost to China by a humiliating score of 0-5, it still finished second in the group and qualified from Group A.
A day later, all four groups were over.
In Group B, Japan defeated Saudi Arabia 5:O in their last match, and Jordan defeated Syria 2:1. Japan and Jordan both qualified from the group, and Japan won two wins and one draw to top the group with seven points. Jordan is also two wins and one draw to accumulate seven points, in the relationship between the two sides, Japan and Jordan originally played a 1:1 draw, the relationship between the two teams can not distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages, comparing the goal difference of the two teams against each other, it is also the same, and then compare the number of goals in each other's games, of course, it is still the same. In this case, Jordan has four fewer goals than Japan in this regard, and Japan relied on a 5:o goal difference against Saudi Arabia in the last game...... In the end, Japan won the group and Jordan finished second.
In fact, the two teams that have attracted the most attention in this Asian Cup are the Chinese team and the Jordanian team.
The Chinese team is in the spotlight because of Yang Fan, which is the influence of individual stars, while the Jordan team is in the spotlight because this team without stars and relying on the whole is the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup.
In the group round, facing the defending champion Japan team led by world famous coach Zaccheroni, and facing the Japanese with luxury midfielders such as Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa, Hohito Endo, etc., the Jordanians showed 12 points of unity and once led most of the game. Japan's stars have little to do in the face of Jordan's stubborn defence, and if it weren't for Zaccheroni's timely change of formation in the second half, Jordan would have been in for an upset in the group stage.
Four days later, against Saudi Arabia, a far stronger West Asian rival, the Jordanians continued their tenacious will to unite throughout the game, and the whole game gave the Saudis little chance to take advantage of.
When it comes to the Saudi team, it is not so much that it is also a team that has won the Asian Cup three times, but that it is the team that has reached the final six times in the last seven Asian Cups. 7 Asian Cups, 3 champions, 3 runners-up, such a record can definitely make any opponent fearful. However, in front of the Jordan team in this game, the Saudi players lost the countless halos they once had, and they were beaten home by Jordan, ranked 1o4 in the world.
In the final round of the group stage, Jordan won against Syria, and in the end, it was only because of the disadvantage of goal difference, and it was only because of the disadvantage of goal difference, and it was only because of the disadvantage of the Japanese team that ranked second in the group, and this team is a well-deserved dark horse in this Asian Cup.
The success of the Jordan team does not depend on the stunning performance of a certain level of star, they are able to achieve such a record, it depends more on the whole. Goalkeeper Shasin is indeed the most crucial figure in the Jordan squad, but it must be emphasised that without their overall tenacity of defence and the 11 brave hearts of the players on the pitch, even Cech standing in front of the Jordanian team would not have helped.
When commenting on the match between the Jordanian team and the Japanese team, He Wei, a famous commentator of CCTV, joked that the Jordanian team was the "Jordan" team, which was originally due to He Wei's feelings after seeing a seemingly unintentional small cooperation of the Jordanian team at that time. However, when people see that the Jordanian team has become the biggest dark horse since the start of the Asian Cup, I believe people will also have a feeling about the Jordan team: Jordan team.
Group C topped the group with Australia, who beat Bahrain 1:O in their last match. South Korea finished second in the group, and although they beat India 4-1 in their final game, they still had one less goal difference than Australia, which also made them second in the group......
Top of Group D are Iran, who have been flawless in their group stage, winning all three of their games and accumulating nine points. Iran are also the only team in the group stage of the Asian Cup to have won all three games. Runners-up in the group are defending champions Iraq, who have six points from two wins and one loss, with a 2-1 defeat to Iran.
Among the four Asian teams representing Asia in the World Cup in South Africa, Japan, South Korea and Australia still show their unique technical and tactical abilities in Asia, while North Korea, which once appeared as a dark horse, has completely lost its dazzling aura. Japan, led by world coach Zaccheroni, showed Asia's leading overall coordination ability in the group stage, South Korea changed the traditional style of toughness and lack of delicacy to the technical flow, and Australia calmly advanced to the quarterfinals with an unrepeatable advantage of body and strength.
Last summer, North Korean football caught the world's attention with its team spirit, tactical discipline and mystery, and the tears shed by star Chung Dae-se when he sang the national anthem were enough to make Chinese football shameless for its lack of integrity. Although the North Korean team sent all the main forces in this Asian Cup, Zheng Dashi also went into battle with an injury, but due to the serious lack of the team's overall technical and tactical ability, he had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of the group stage exit. It is not difficult to see that North Korean football does not have the strength of Asia's first-class team at all, but Iran, the only Iran that has won all three games in the group stage, has completely regained the feeling of being the boss of West Asia.
After all eight teams have qualified, it will be the knockout stage.
According to the rules of the competition, the first pair of group A is the second pair of group B, the first pair of group B is the second pair of group A, the first pair of group C is the second pair of group D, and the first pair of group D is the second pair of netbsp; As the first team in Group A, China's opponent in the quarter-finals is Jordan, the second team in Group B.
The match is also seen as a collision of teams with a star aura and a grassroots team with collectivism.
