In charge of the referee for the match was a young referee from Iran, Alireza Fagani. The 34-year-old referee is a referee who has been trained by the AFC.

The use of a West Asian referee in the semi-final between East Asian teams and Australia also served as a counterweight and showed that impartiality would not result in controversial decisions based on geographical differences.

Alireza Fagani looked down at the chronograph on his left wrist, and then at the other watch on his right wrist guard. At the same time, it is necessary to synchronize with the timer in the hands of the fourth official on the field, and all three times are the same, so as to confirm that the time is correct. This ensures that the game time is basically fair and objective, knowing that sometimes a one-second error in a football match can change the fate of a team.

The Iranian referee took a deep breath.

Then, after all the time on the timers on both hands, Iranian referee Alireza Fagani looked up to the sidelines as he waited for instructions from the fourth official.

Yang Fan stepped on the football under his feet, and he looked up to see the Australian goal, while his partner Gao Lin lowered his head and said something in his mouth.

"Nervous?" Yang Fan asked Gao Lin.

"Oh, no, it's not. Gao Lin looked up, "It's excitement, excitement." ”

"Hah, let's score a goal for everyone to see. Yang Fan nodded and said. He understands Gao Lin's emotions at this time, speaking of excitement, he is not a little excited now, although you are the top star in today's football, with the club in the European arena to win so much glory, won the English Championship, FA Cup and League Cup, but also won the Champions League and the World Cup, but that is the glory of the club, which is very different from wearing the national team jersey! Thinking that this was the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, and he defeated the opposite opponent to enter the final round, Yang Fan was also a little excited...... It's excitement, not nervousness!

Opposite Tim Cahill and Viduka, who exchanged words in a low voice, closed their mouths and looked at the referee.

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for the referee's whistle.

The fourth official on the sidelines finally nodded to Alireza Fagani.

Alireza Fagani looked left and right at the players on either side, then took a deep breath and blew the whistle in his mouth while swinging his right hand forward vigorously.

"Toot ——!!!!!!!!!"

With the whistle of referee Alireza Fagani, the semi-final between the Chinese team and Australia in this Asian Cup officially kicked off!" He Wei shouted excitedly. "After a lapse of seven years, we are once again on the stage of the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the importance of this game does not need to be said, I just want to say that Yang Fan and his teammates, come on! At this moment, I believe that tens of millions of Chinese fans in front of the TV are cheering for you, come on! Chinese team! Come on, China!"

Just the whistle blew, and as soon as the game started, He Wei was a little excited, and he shouted hard.

The Chinese team performed very well after kick-off, without the nervousness and confusion that some people expected. They even had the ball at one point, leaving Australia unable to grab the ball for a while.

This surprised many people, in their minds, Australia should take the initiative, and the Chinese team should be more defensive.

Objectively speaking, the lineup of the Chinese team, there are Liu Jianye and Yang Hao two backs, this is a more defensive lineup, Gao Hongbo knows the gap between the two teams, and it is correct to choose the tactics of defensive counterattack, but this should be a lineup that should shrink the defense line and let the opponent attack to find counterattack opportunities, but after the opening, he used the opportunity to kick off first to control the football at his feet, but Australia seemed to be a little unprepared, and was once led by the nose by the Chinese team.

"The Chinese team got off to a good start. He Wei said.

"It's really good, the players seem to be very confident, not panicking!" Liu Jianhong said, "The most impressive thing about this Chinese team is confidence, this team is younger than the previous national team, although young means inexperienced, but also more energetic and fighting! ”

The Chinese commentators were full of praise for the players' performances. As Liu Jianhong said, this Chinese team is a very young team, in fact, this is also a benchmark for Gao Hongbo to select the players of the Chinese team, he chose to be younger, on the one hand, because his goal is to qualify for the 2o14 Brazil World Cup, which is the Brazilian World Cup three years later, rejuvenation is a need, and another important factor is that young players have not developed so many bad problems, or more explicit is that they have not developed the temper of the football bully, good management! Such a young team, coupled with a captain like Yang Fan who can hold down the field, has promoted the unprecedented unity of this national team.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the score was still 0-0.

Hao Junmin faced the defense of an Australian defender, and instead of continuing to dribble, he stopped. At the same time, he is observing the situation in front of him and waiting for his teammates to plug in.

The Asian Cup has been played four games, this is the fifth, this is Hao Junmin's first time in the Asian Cup, he seems quite excited and active.

Hao Junmin circled the football with his right foot, and seeing that the opponent had no intention of moving, he planned to circle again.

The defender couldn't hold his breath, he didn't know when Hao Junmin was making a feint or when he was preparing to pass, so he had to be ready to tackle at any time. This nerves are tense, and it's really uncomfortable.

At this time, Hao Junmin flicked the football with his left foot, and this time the defender did not hesitate to shovel the football!

But he didn't get the ball. Because Hao Junmin was one step ahead of him, he pulled the football and passed the football out.

Yang Fan plugged in and received the football.

At the same time as receiving the ball, Yang Fan directly added a button, passed the Australian midfielder Jedinak, and then broke through the interception of an Australian player again with a change of direction dribble, and continued to dribble forward.

"Yang Fan, he's passed two defenders!"

"The Australian defense line has no role in front of Yang Fan!"

Yang Fan's breakthrough caused Australia's defense to fall into chaos in an instant, as he continued to dribble the ball, Australia's defensive attention was completely restrained by him, if you look down on the stadium from the air at this time, you will see, the captain of the Chinese team wearing the red jersey is like a strong suction magnet, attracting the Australian players in the yellow jersey.

In the process of dribbling the ball, Yang Fan suddenly passed the ball!

It wasn't a boccia pass, it wasn't a diagonal ball, but a run that suddenly picked the ball up, and to everyone's surprise, the Australian centre-back Ognenovski, who had just come up to intercept, looked up in amazement as the ball passed over his head and then fell forward.

Almost at the same time, a man appeared on the line of football!

That's Gao Lin!!

When Yang Fan was dribbling the ball, Gao Lin had been observing Yang Fan, he looked at Yang Fan while running, almost at the moment when Yang Fan passed the ball, Gao Lin suddenly had a strong feeling, it was time to sprint!

It's a feeling that words can't describe, and it should be explained more by the incredible tacit understanding of the two players!

Ognenovsky was taken aback, he subconsciously looked at the linesman, the linesman did not say anything, and the referee's whistle did not sound.

No offside!

Gao Lin rushed to the football, he padded the football with his chest, and then dribbled the ball towards the goal.

"Single Knife!"

"Gao Lin's chance!"

"A chance for the Chinese team!"

"The goalkeeper is out!"

Australia's goalkeeper Schwarzer decisively abandoned the goal, without the slightest hesitation, he could not give Yang Fan too much space and shooting angle.

In the high dribble, Gao Lin glanced at the attacking goalkeeper, and then he shot straight at the goal.

A volley!!

The football flew up and went around the goal, Schwarzer took two steps back, turned sideways, and threw himself into the air, but he was not able to touch the football, he was in the air, twisting his neck and looking backwards, and he could only watch the football pass backwards and fly into the goal.

"Oooo

“gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaL！”

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1！”

"Gao Lin - gooooooooooa

“oh！oh！oh！oh——onderfu1，onderfu1，onderfu1！gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa1！”

Gao Lin received a wonderful pass from Yang Fan and shot a wonderful shot! The Chinese team scored 1-0! The Chinese team scored! 1-0! We are ahead!" He Wei shouted excitedly.

"One to zero! Now, the leading Chinese team is ahead!" We are ahead!" Liu Jianhong also roared excitedly, "This attack is so beautiful, Yang Fan alone restrained five or six Australian players, the most exciting thing is his pick and pass, Gao Lin's interspersed is also quite timely! Gao Lin's goal, Schwarzer can't save this football! One to zero, now we are ahead! The Chinese team broke the deadlock on the field when the game was 16 minutes into the game!"

The moment the football landed in the net, countless Chinese fans jumped in front of the TV, raising their arms and shouting, "Hooray!!"

"One to zero!

"Yang Fan's assist, Gao Lin's goal!

Gao Lin was extremely excited after the goal, he ran desperately, yelling in his mouth, he was so excited, this young man who was nervous before the game, at this moment, was completely filled with excitement after the goal, he ran wildly!

Yang Fan intercepted Gao Lin halfway, hugged him, and yelled in his ear, "Good job!

The rest of his team-mates were also very excited, and they flocked to celebrate the goal. Before this goal came, they were under a lot of pressure, and now, with the goal, everyone's hearts are finally relieved.

"It's a crucial goal!" the commentator shouted.

That's right, it was a crucial goal. In the knockout rounds, the goal to break the deadlock is so important and how crucial!

On the sidelines, Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team, jumped up all of a sudden, and then was hugged by assistant coach Fu Bo, and the two coaches hugged and jumped up like children.

More Chinese players rushed out of the bench, yelling, waving coats, waving towels, waving fists, shouting, yelling.

This goal completely ignited the enthusiasm and blood in their chests!

Thinking of what captain Yang Fan said in the locker room, both the players on the field and the players off the field were excited.

That's right, these are the worst times.

Chinese football is almost everyone shouting and fighting, all levels of national teams are performing very badly, the 2o1o World Cup qualifiers are out early, the 2oo7 Asian Cup is out of the group stage, creating the worst record, a year ago there was a high-level gambling of the Football Association, corruption-corruption incident, the senior management of the Football Association was almost wiped out, but also made the Chinese people hate, and there are fewer and fewer children who play football, which is a vicious circle for Chinese football, some pessimists even predict that Chinese football will not want to rise for half a century.

But, as Yang Fan said, this is the best era again!

Since it's already so bad, let's still think about what to do! Start now, start from yourself! Start from this moment, start from this Asian Cup!

We've reached the semi-finals, we're going to keep going, Australia is strong? maybe! But we're going to get past Australia! We're aiming for the final, we're looking at the final, the final trophy!

Asian Champion!

Kick it out at the feet of such a bunch of Chinese lads!

This is the beginning of a best era!

No one knows if it will be achieved.

However, we will work hard and will fight!

With our feet, we can kick out an incomparably brilliant future!

No one is willing to endure infamy and failure.

No one wants to lie in the stinking gutter!

This goal is the clarion call, the horn of the attack, the drumbeat of the battle.

We are fighting, and we will continue to fight!

The camera gives a close-up of the Chinese players hugging each other and yelling in celebration...... Their captain's arms were raised in the air, and their eyes were shining.
