Wang Shihan sat in front of the TV, her parents by her side, and today is the second game of the semi-finals, against China and Australia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA few days ago, all the top four teams of the Asian Cup were produced, namely China, Japan, Australia and South Korea, and three hours ago, Japan and South Korea fought 2:2 in 120 minutes, and in the penalty shootout, South Korean players Gu Zi-chul, Lee Young-rae, and Hong Jung-ho missed penalties in a row, and finally the Japanese team eliminated South Korea 5:2 and took the lead in the final.

South Korea's hopeful star Gu Jizhe performed sluggishly, failing to score in the game, not to mention missing the ball in the penalty shootout, which also affected the performance of other teammates, causing the South Korean team to fall before the final.

Because Gu Zizhe failed to score, he tied with Zhang Shujie for the top scorer in the scorer list with four goals. Chinese fans and the Chinese media are desperate for Zhang Shujie to score against Australia in the game, so that he can not only lead the scorer charts, but also get one step closer to the Golden Boot glory.

At the press conference before the game, Gao Hongbo had confirmed that Li Mu would not be able to play, but Gao Hongbo still included him in the squad, first letting him sit on the bench and wait for instructions, so that Li Mu's name would not be among the starting eleven.

Wang Shihan was nervous and excited, she deeply understood that without Li Mu's Chinese team, Zhang Shujie would shoulder a heavier mission.

Wang Shihan clasped her hands and put them on her chest, hoping that Zhang Shujie would live up to expectations and lead the Chinese team to meet the Japanese team again in the final after seven years. At that time, Li Mu will be able to play! The Chinese team can also challenge the Asian hegemon with a complete lineup, and take advantage of this to avenge the defeat of seven years ago!

Not only does she think so, but her father also thinks so, and thousands of Chinese fans are hoping that Zhang Shujie can stop Australia in the semi-finals.

In the picture of the TV, Wang Shihan saw that the players of the two teams had already appeared. The match was held at the Khalifa Stadium, and this was the third time that China stood on this stadium. The stands were filled with fans from both teams, with a lot of neutral fans mixed in.

The Chinese team formed 442 in this campaign, with the goalkeeper Ma Junqiang, the four defenders being Wu Hao, the captain Du Peng, Li Guobin and Yan Tao, the four midfielders being Qu Bo, Deng Zhuoxiang, Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang, and Zhang Shujie and Gao Lin as the starting forwards. Li Mu was injured and sidelined, and Gao Lin replaced him.

Australia's formation is also 442, with goalkeeper Schwarzer, Nell, O'Glovski, Carney and Wilkshi in the back, Valery, Jedinac, McKay and Holman in midfield, and Colwill and Tim Cahill in the forward. Among them, Nell is the captain of the field.

The biggest name on Australia's list is Colwill, who played for Premier League giants Liverpool and now plays for Turkish club Galatasaray, where he scored five goals in 20 appearances last season, and his position is very flexible, playing as a midfielder or striker. In this game, he was pushed up the front line by head coach Holger Osik.

There was a joke about Colwill at the World Cup in South Africa, when an article in Australia's Sunday Telegraph titled "A Rare Blood Disease Threatens to Kill Colwill", written by David Davutovich, mentioned that Dr. Elangara had revealed in an interview that Colwell had been replaced with a disease called "autoimmune hepatitis", which was discovered by Colwell during a medical examination in 2002, and if left untreated, the Australian international would have died in eight years.

Exactly eight years from 2002 to 2010, the good news media thought that the World Cup in South Africa would be the swan song of Colwill's life!

Dr. Enangara just said that Colwell would die if he didn't treat it in time, which was just a hypothesis. The real situation is that Colwill has been actively treated since the disease was diagnosed, and by the time the World Cup in South Africa was no longer serious. When Cowell himself learned the news, he couldn't laugh or cry, and clarified the matter to the outside world alone.

Today, Colwill is Australia's number one star and has been on the path to revitalise Australian football since Viduka's retirement. However, the overall strength of the team is not good, and the World Cup is often missed, since then the Australian Football Association applied to join the AFC, on June 29, 2005, FIFA agreed to Australia's application, and the Australian Football Association also became the 46th member of the AFC.

After joining the AFC, Australia competed in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, reaching the quarter-finals in 2006, but in 2010 they returned home after playing in the group stage. It can be seen that the European and American giants in the World Cup are not something that Australia can deal with.

However, in the Asian Cup, Australia is a strong team that cannot be beaten, and even South Korea has to cede the second place in Asia for them. Australia are also the second favourites after Japan in this year's Asian Cup.

The game has already begun, with Australia kicking off first in the first half. Australia doesn't know very much about what kind of team the Chinese team is, they have only played five times before, and that was in the eighties of the last century. In five matchups, the Chinese team won one win, two draws and two losses, and was at a disadvantage. But history can only be used as a reference, today Australia does not dare to despise the Chinese team, those foreign players are very dangerous.

What makes all Australia happiest is that Li Mu can't play, which will inevitably lead to a great impact on China's offensive firepower in the frontcourt, as long as Zhang Shujie can be stared at to death, then the Chinese team's forward line is no threat. You said that there is also Golin, and Australian coach Holger Osik said: I don't know.

Colwill got the ball at the edge of the penalty area and shook it past Du Peng, Xu Ziyi returned to the defensive position, Colwill immediately distributed the ball to Tim Cahill, Cahill leaned on Li Guobin, and volleyed sideways at the edge of the penalty area, Ma Junqiang rose into the air and flew to save the ball off the crossbar.

In the fourth minute of the game, Australia had a shot on goal and were awarded a corner.

The corner kick was taken by Colwill, which was very weird, Ma Junqiang did not dare to attack, and could only shout loudly for the defender to push the ball out. Yan Tao was physically strong, and with his physical advantage, he was stunned to beat the one-meter** Jedinak and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

The ball landed at Nell's feet and the Australian captain kept the ball on and met it with a shot that went just over the crossbar.

Ma Junqiang kicked the goal kick, the ball flew to the center circle and fell, Deng Zhuoxiang failed to grab Valery, the ball was pushed aside by Valery, and Deng Zhuoxiang himself was hit in the air. He tried to tell the referee that Valery had fouled him, but the referee ignored him and motioned for him to get up and stay on the ground.

Deng Zhuoxiang shook his head and stood up helplessly.

Australia continued to attack, after Valery took the ball, Jedinak got the ball, Xu Ziyi stepped forward to scramble, Jedinak passed to Matt McKay of the fullback, McKay was very fast, Zhao Wenkang tried hard to catch up, but he still couldn't catch up with him, so he could only follow him all the way to the backfield.

Yan Tao yelled: "Give him to me!"

Zhao Wenkang stopped the pursuit and moved to the penalty area to help defend. Yan Tao rushed forward and jammed McKay's path. McKay slowed down and controlled the ball first to prevent it from being snatched away. At this point, Jedinac came up to pick him up, and Colwill and Tim Cahill headed for the middle. McKay made a gesture to pass the ball to Jedinak, tricking Yan Tao into moving to the side, and then he suddenly accelerated the ball, trying to use his speed to pass Yan Tao.

Maybe if you change to another defender, you can really be passed by him like this. But Yan Tao's speed was not slow, ranking third in the team, he saw McKay running away with the ball from his side, and scolded: "Damn! You kid wants to play with me!"

Saying that, Yan Tao turned around and grabbed back, and McKay controlled the ball while protecting the ball, but Yan Tao's transformer-like figure squeezed him breathlessly. He forcibly took another step, and then his body was crooked, and he was squeezed down by Yan Tao.

Yan Tao also fell, and the referee whistled to indicate that Yan Tao had committed a foul, because it was not malicious, so the referee verbally warned him and gave Australia a free kick in front.

This position is on the right side of the penalty area, relatively close to the bottom line, only about five yards, and it is still Colwill who will take the penalty. The Chinese team lined up the human wall, and Ma Junqiang commanded everyone to stand. At this time, the goalkeeper has absolute command power, and everyone has to listen to him.

The human wall has been lined up, the referee blows the whistle, Colwill passes the ball to the penalty area, and Ma Junqiang quickly attacks and jumps to pick up the ball. Also jumping with him was Holman, although Ma Junqiang picked off the ball, but after colliding with Holman, his body lost his balance in mid-air, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, and the ball rolled to the side.

Tim Cahill stretched out and stabbed the ball into the empty net. He was about to celebrate his goal, but the referee ruled that Holman had fouled the goalkeeper and the goal was disallowed.

Cahill spread his hands, shook his head twice, and walked back.

Liu Jianhong said stupidly: "Australia scored the first goal just now, but Holman fouled, so Cahill's goal was canceled, and Chinese fans must have been nervous." In fact, Australia has taken the initiative in the past ten minutes, and the Chinese team can only defend, which is not a good phenomenon to continue. ”

Ma Junqiang got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and Holman who bumped into him also got up and went back. Xu Ziyi walked over and said with a smile: "You will be knocked down if you are so tall!"

Ma Junqiang glared at the kid: "If there is no focus point in the air, everyone will be knocked away!"

Xu Ziyi smiled and ran out of the penalty area, and Ma Junqiang passed the ball to Yan Tao. Gao Hongbo walked to the sidelines and shouted: "Attack, attack, don't be pressed and beaten by them!"

These words are equivalent to giving instructions to Yan Tao, as a fullback, he was originally a tactical chess piece in the attack, Yan Tao also likes to attack, and he is very happy to hear Gao Hongbo shouting like this.

He ran forward with the ball, cooperated with Xu Ziyi, who came to answer, passed Valery, and in the middle of the field, he passed the ball to Zhao Wenkang, and continued to run forward. McKay didn't know whether to continue to defend Zhao Wenkang or follow Yan Tao for a while, but saw his teammate Carney, who was playing as a left-back, gesture to him, meaning that he just had to guard against Zhao Wenkang.

McKay understood and pressed towards Zhao Wenkang, but Zhao Wenkang sent the ball forward diagonally, and the ball reached Xu Ziyi's feet.

The Chinese team attacked the 35-meter range of Australia's backfield, Deng Zhuoxiang, Zhang Shujie and Gao Lin had already run towards the penalty area.

Carney stood in front of Yan Tao, looking at the burly Chinese defender, Carney was thinking about the best way to deal with him, but Yan Tao picked it lightly, and the ball jumped to Zhao Wenkang, who was inserted.

The Chinese team advanced another ten meters to the Australian backfield, and McKay stuck to Zhao Wenkang, studying the Chinese right midfielder Australia. At present, Zhao Wenkang's three assists rank first in the assist list, Australia will definitely analyze him well, and it is impossible for any team to let the opponent's assist king go alone, not to mention that Zhao Wenkang not only has three assists, but also a goal.

The three assists Zhao Wenkang all helped his teammates score in a diagonal situation, so McKay naively thought that the Chinese from the Portuguese Super League would only pass. When he saw Zhao Wenkang raise his eyes to look at the penalty area, McKay subconsciously sat down and stretched out his feet to block, but Zhao Wenkang suddenly pulled the ball inward with his left foot in the process of dribbling the ball, turned around in a ninety degree half, and strode towards the middle.

McKay made a wrong interception judgment in advance, so he could only watch Zhao Wenkang take the ball.

"Beautiful get-out! Suddenly changing to an inward cut in the middle of dribbling, this is a way that Zhao Wenkang likes to get rid of. He did that a lot in Setúbal, but in the Asian Cup he showed it for the first time!"

This trick seems simple, but it is actually very skillful, if the body does not control the center of gravity well, the moment it changes direction, it is likely to fall.

Zhao Wenkang kicked the ball to Zhang Shujie, and as soon as Zhang Shujie took the ball, before he could turn around, he felt someone behind him sticking up.

Australia's central defender Wilsick, the coach gave him the task in this game: to keep an eye on Zhang Shujie!

This will be a very serious task.
