When everyone saw this sentence posted on the wall, they were first surprised, and then they all felt very excited, but they were all asking who wrote this sentence.

Gao Lin knew that Yang Fan had written it, so he asked in confusion why Yang Fan was sure that the opponent of the Chinese team in the final was the Japanese team? Because at this time, the semi-finals between the South Korean team and the Japanese team would not be played until the evening of this day, and it was still unknown which of the two teams would be able to enter the final round.

"Intuition!" Yang Fan said, "Seven years later, we reached the final again, and I think God will give us a chance to get revenge." Arrange for us to meet the Japanese. ”

"That's right. Qu Bo nodded vigorously. Seven years ago, the Chinese team was snatched away by the Japanese with handball at home, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of all Chinese players, including Qu Bo!

That night, the "strong confrontation" between the Japanese team and the South Korean team began, which was a duel that attracted the attention of fans all over Asia, a veritable East Asian civil war.

In this Asian Cup, the Japanese team led by Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa, and the Italian coach Zaccheroni is aiming for the "quadruple crown", while the South Korean team with Park Ji-sung and Lee Qinglong is also eyeing the Asian hegemony that has not been seen for 51 years.

In fact, the Japanese team is a little scared of the South Korean team, which is a bit strange, why is Japan, ranked 29th in the world and the triple winner of the Asian Cup, afraid of this close neighbor ranked 39th in the world? In the last Asian Cup, the Japanese team lost the third-place match with the South Korean team in the "point battle", and lost the exemption of the qualifiers of this Asian Cup. In the "Japan-South Korea confrontation" at the warm-up level, Japan has never been one-sided. Even in the autumn of 2o1o, Zaccelloni's second high-profile game after taking charge of the Japanese national football team, the Japanese team, which had a lot of glory in the World Cup in South Africa, failed to get too much advantage from this "long-cherished rival of the millennium", and finally the two sides shook hands and made peace. In 2o1o, the South Korean team and the Japanese team played each other 3 times, and the Korean team remained unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw. It is for this reason that the Japanese media agreed before the game that the balance of victory was tilted in favor of the South Korean team.

In addition, due to historical reasons, whenever Japan and South Korea clash, South Koreans can always "share the same hatred and hatred." Looking at the all-time head-to-head head-to-head, Japan are the bottom of the game with 11 wins, 38 losses and 21 draws - a statistic that indicates that the battle between Japan and South Korea will undoubtedly be the toughest battle in Doha for the Japanese team aiming to win the championship.

This time, the top two teams of Japan and South Korea met in the semifinals of the Asian Cup, which is destined to be a pinnacle matchup, a battle of 451 formations. And the focus of the competition between the two sides is obviously the midfield.

Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, Keisuke Honda, Makoto Hasebe and Hohito Endo PK Park Ji-sung, Goo Zi-cheol, Lee Cheong-ryong, Sei-yong Yoe and Lee Young-rae. In terms of the overall gold content of the players, the Japanese team and the South Korean team are indeed quite good.

Both sides played very well in this match, and this matchup is enough to represent the highest level of Asian football. In the 23rd minute, Park Ji-sung won a penalty for the South Korean team, and Ji Chengyong made it overnight, and the South Korean team led 1:O. In the 36th minute, Ryokai Maeda swept in front of the door to help Japan equalize. In the 9o minutes of the game, the two sides played 1:1 and the game went to extra time. In the 98th minute of extra time, the referee from Saudi Arabia awarded another penalty to the Japanese team, and the substitute Hoshibei Meng scored a penalty, and the Japanese team led 2:1. But the South Korean team didn't give up there. With Hwang Jae-won's goal in the last minute of extra time, the South Korean team miraculously tied the score at 2:2. The game had to go to penalties.

However, the performance of the Koreans in the penalty shootout was a big surprise, the Japanese goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji saved the Korean players Gu Zizhe and Lee Yong-rae penalty kicks in succession, and the third player of the Korean team to take the penalty kick knocked the ball away again, and in the end, the Japanese team won the penalty shootout 3:o and advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5:2.

The Chinese team watched the game in a conference room of the hotel where they stayed, and the commentator also mentioned the Chinese team that had taken the lead in the final from time to time when commenting on the game, which was obviously also a reminder to the audience that this team would be the winner of the two teams on the field in the final opponent.

While watching the game, the players of the Chinese team were also discussing, and the topic of discussion was who they tend to meet in the final, whether it was Korean or Japanese?!

South Korea or Japan?

In fact, this in itself is a topic worth discussing, as it seems that there will be a lot of topics to talk about when you meet any team.

Meeting South Korea is a great opportunity to break Koreanophobia in an official competition. Although at the beginning of 2o1o, the Chinese team once defeated the South Korean team 3-0 in the East Asian semifinals. However, the South Korean team is actually the second team of South Korea, and many South Korean internationals who played overseas did not come back to participate in this game, and the gold content of the game was insufficient. So the South Koreans have been unconvinced, they believe that the Chinese team has not really broken the Korean phobia. Of course, Yang Fan did not participate in the East Asian semi-finals, which is also the confidence of some Chinese fans: You Koreans have many overseas international players who did not participate, and we still have Yang Fan who is absent from the game!

And meet the Japanese team...... That is a repeat of the 2oo4 Asian Cup final, and the Chinese team will have the opportunity to seek justice from the Japanese team - in fact, the domestic media has also done research, and many fans tend to touch the Japanese team! Just like the sentence posted on the wall by Yang Fan, China is eager to take revenge on Japan!

Now, Japan has eliminated South Korea and reached the final, in which case Japan will meet China in the final.

In the final of the 2oo4 Asian Cup, the Chinese team faced off against the Japanese team, and now, after seven years, the two teams meet again......

The match between the South Korean team and the Japanese team, Chinese fans paid special attention, and after the whistle blew at the end of the game, it was confirmed that it was the Japanese team, and the results came out, the Chinese media and netizens were boiling.

Countless people have reopened the Asian Cup final seven years ago at this moment, giving science to those who have not watched it before, or don't know about that final, the grievances between Chinese and Japanese football. Among them, the most famous feud was the Asian Cup final in 2oo4.

In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a fateful showdown, this is a moment of revenge!

Seven years ago, the Japanese snatched the championship from China's doorstep in an almost despicable fashion, and seven years later, the two teams met again in the final, a revenge for the Chinese team.

Of course, there are also a lot of national emotions mixed in here, because as we all know, China and Japan have a deep blood feud in history.

Although everyone likes to say what keeps politics away from football. But it never really happened. Football matches, to some extent, are a continuation of another form of war, without bloodshed, but the same is eager to kill the other side, so that the other side will never be able to turn over.

In world football, the match between England and Argentina, England and Argentina became mortal enemies because of the Falklands War, the match between England and Germany, the two sides because of the two world wars and ******** The reason for becoming a mortal enemy, the match between Poland and Russia, which is a continuation of the political confrontation between the former Soviet republics, the match between South Korea and Japan, as we all know, Korea was colonized by Japan, and the two sides have a deep blood feud, the match between Iran and the United States, which is a continuation of the political confrontation, the showdown between Iraq and Iran, which is the grudge of the Iran-Iraq war, and the match between China and Japan, the war crimes committed by Japan against China back then, are even more difficult to mention!

There are many football matches between two countries with political and historical backgrounds like this, which are very eye-catching, because of historical and political reasons, the two sides will definitely kill you to the death, in fact, such a duel match, the security work is also particularly eye-catching.

Therefore, when the Chinese team plays against the Japanese team, it will definitely be mixed with a lot of national emotions. Not just football, basketball, volleyball...... And that's true of all sports.

Competitive sports are known as another form of warfare, and as the number one sport in the world, the influence of football is enormous, which makes such a matchup particularly eye-catching.

After it was determined that the Japanese team was the opponent of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup final, the Chinese media also began to report a series of stories about the grievances and holidays between Chinese and Japanese football.

In fact, in the beginning, the level of Japanese football was relatively low in Asia. The strength of the Chinese team is far better than that of the Japanese team!

The Japanese did not participate in the Asian Cup for the first time until 1988, and before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, their national Olympic team was also eliminated by the Chinese Olympic team, which was also the first time in the history of the Chinese Olympic team to break into the Olympic Games.

At that time, Japanese football was basically beaten by Chinese football, and at that time, Japanese football was suffering from 'Sinophobia', just as Chinese football was already suffering from "Koreanophobia" at that time.

In the 1988 Asian Cup, Japan drew only one of its four games and failed to score a single goal, losing the remaining three games.

Since then, however, the level of Japanese football has improved.

From the 199o, Japanese football began to rise and has entered the top 2o in the international rankings. China and Japan have never met in World Cup qualifying, and in contrast, China has lost to Japan in four consecutive Asian Cups.

In the semifinals of the 1992 Asian Cup, the Chinese team lost to the host Japan team 2:3: a not sunny afternoon, a heart-wrenching game, let Chinese fans experience the joys and sorrows on the football field. Later, the most impressive memory of Chinese fans is that substitute striker Li Xiao deftly reversed the score, and then the Japanese came back to life with the help of the referee to score an offside goal, and later took advantage of the psychological changes of the Chinese team to score the winning goal. Japan then won the championship against Saudi Arabia in the final, and more than a decade later, Japan became the leader of Asia, and perhaps it was this ball that became an epoch-making turning point.

1996 Asian Cup group stage final game last minute O:1 defeat to Japan: This was a routine game, the previous 1-1 Chinese team faced the Japanese team that won both games, and only a draw could secure the group qualification, and even squeeze out the arch-rival South Korea team to enter the quarterfinals. It was late at night, the Chinese team lost, and many Chinese fans remembered the name of the Japanese defender who scored the Chinese team's goal - Naoki Soma. However, the next day, many Chinese fans got unexpected good news, in the ensuing match Syria team defeated the Uzbekistan team, the Chinese team was lucky to be the second in the group with a goal difference and the last train to the rematch.

In the semifinals of the 2ooo Asian Cup, the Chinese team won first and then lost 2:3 to hate Japan: a sleepless night, the Chinese team that was not favored before the game played the national spirit in the game with the favorite Japanese team. In this game, Yang Chenshi's earth-shattering shot from outside the penalty area can be called the best work of his career. Fan Zhiyi accidentally set himself up when defending a corner kick, and before the end, Qi Hong was injured in the face of the incoming ball and desperately one-on-one with the opponent's goalkeeper. It was a tragic defeat, and the domestic media unanimously agreed that despite the defeat, it also boosted the confidence of the national football team and laid the foundation for the top 10 in a year's time.

In the final of the 2oo4 Asian Cup, the Chinese team Beijing Gongti lost to the Japanese team 1:3: In the world football of 2oo4, subversion is the most eye-catching theme, in May, the Porto team won the UEFA Champions League championship in July, and the Greek team won the European Cup in the end. The Chinese team was first scored by the opponent with a free kick header, and soon used the Dalian combination to equalize the score, and Li Ming scored the last goal of his national team after receiving a pass from Yan Song, which was also the last game of his national team. The Chinese team had enough chances to turn the tables, everything was ruined by the blind referee, Nakamura Shunsuke's corner kick was scored by defender Yuji Nakazawa with his hand, and even the AFC officials said after the game that the Chinese team players were too honest. It's our home stadium and we don't dare to protest strongly and ironically after a little over a month, in the middle of the pitch, there were two strikes in an inconsequential game, and the spirit of our players was not in place.

After the Japanese team eliminated the South Korean team to reach the final, a large number of Japanese fans gathered outside the hotel where the Japanese team was staying, and they sang and danced to celebrate the team's elimination of the sworn rival South Korean team to reach the final.

At this time, on the distant Japanese mainland, the major cities have become a sea of joy for the Japanese to celebrate their victory, Japanese fans are singing loudly in the square, and some right-wingers are holding high the Japanese military flag, shouting right-wing slogans and insulting right-wing slogans: 'Destroy Korea first and then conquer China!'

The window of one of the hotel rooms opened, and a Japanese player unfurled a banner that read: Seven years ago, we could win you, and we will kill you today!

This immediately caused a roar of cheers from Japanese fans.

The ugliest scene then came, with far-right fans waving banners in response: Zhi-Na man, how we ravaged you on the battlefield back then, we can do the same on the court today!
