Japan's loss to the United Arab Emirates, which is inferior to its own strength, is there certainly still this, and Japan, who thought they could take the initiative, was beaten by the UAE shortly after the opening of the game, which is proof of this.

Zhang Yuan also shouted that he wanted to overturn Little Japan after the match with Australia, which indirectly shows that in his mind, the Japanese team is going to advance, and the United Arab Emirates is going to advance, which is more or less a wake-up call in Zhang Yuan's mind.

Zhang Yuan also took the trouble to ring the alarm bell for the players in the training interval and internal meetings!

"I said you are not annoying, you are worried every day!" The honest Gao Jun couldn't stand Zhang Yuan's broken thoughts.

"Hey, Brother Jun! It's not my broken thoughts! Think about it, we want to make history, the Chinese people expect us to make history, the UAE is not strong, this is a good opportunity for us! But if we miss such an opportunity because of arrogance, it is not a pity?!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"I know, we all know! Don't worry, everyone is looking forward to it, and we won't take it lightly!" Gao Jun said to Zhang Yuan seriously.

Zhang Yuan could see from Gao Jun's eyes that at least Gao Jun was serious, this attitude was serious, okay, okay, it's not good to talk too much!

How did I become an old woman?! Broken thoughts, Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly!

On December 27, the first match of the semi-finals, the match between the Chinese team and the United Arab Emirates was played at the Newcastle Energy Australia Stadium in Newcastle.

In the eyes of the general public opinion before the game, the Chinese team is not a dark horse, they have proven their maximum ability in the World Cup, and they can beat the host in front, and the favorite to win the championship is not a super upset, you must know that Australia has not taken advantage of the last three encounters with the Chinese team.

The UAE is a real underdog, and the arrangement of this schedule is also very unfavorable for the UAE.

In terms of schedule, the Chinese team has to complete the quarterfinals before the UAE and get one more day of rest, while the UAE has one less day of rest, and the most troublesome thing is that the UAE and Japan have worked hard for 120 minutes, and it is absolutely a lie to say that there is no impact.

The chance of winning the cup is actually due to its own factors, and it is completely undeniable that this factor has an impact on the team.

Perrin believes that if the UAE were smart, they would definitely choose to defend and counterattack, in fact, the UAE has also adopted this method many times in this Cup, and in the counterattack, the goal scored against Japan was also achieved in the counterattack.

With such a disadvantage now, there is no reason why the UAE should not insist on such tactics, and their counterattack is sharp.

Perrin then also put on a counter-attacking strategy in this game, and he waited patiently, waiting for the clock to go on, waiting for the UAE to deliver the fatal blow when they had physical problems.

As for Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan once privately suggested to Perrin that the team could attack and give the UAE a little color, but Perrin mercilessly rejected Zhang Yuan's suggestion, and he was firm in his plan to fight patiently with the UAE.

As a result, the first half of this game made the fans at the scene drowsy, and many fans must be thinking about a question, what are you playing?!

The two teams invariably adopted a defensive counterattack posture, but in the first half, only the ball was seen flying in the air, and there was no midfield link at all.

Zhang Yuan has become the master of the lonely tree again, but the Chinese team has a chance to break the goal, Zhang Yuan does not get many opportunities, but it does not mean that there is no chance, after all, his level is not comparable to the strikers on the UAE side, or found one or two opportunities in the difficult confrontation, Zhang Yuan, who was very powerful in the first few games, actually missed.

Pei Lan couldn't believe his eyes, if only Zhang Yuan could grasp one, this game would be more beneficial to the Chinese team.

In the first half, Zhang Yuan got the opportunity to make him more determined, if the midfielder can press and give himself more support, he will definitely be able to score first, the UAE's defense is not so solid, especially in the case of excessive consumption, the Chinese team is completely likely to score first.

However, at the end of the half, Peilan still refused to change, which made Zhang Yuan a little disappointed, but in the first few games of the Asian Cup, Peilan did not have many problems in tactical arrangements, and there was really no place for Zhang Yuan to accuse, and in the face of the head coach's arrangement, Zhang Yuan could only obey.

UAE head coach Mahdi Ali wants to make some changes, he doesn't know the disadvantages of the United Arab Emirates, the defense is not stable, the physical inferiority, he wants to take advantage of the Chinese team is not paying attention, counterattack to gamble, but think about the Chinese team in the front court There is a Zhang Yuan, he still let go of this idea, the UAE should have fallen behind 0:1 in the first half, and now it is not easy to maintain 0:0.

At half-time, Mahdi Ali could only use what the outside media said was a big dark horse to motivate everyone and let the blow fight bravely.

They are now known as the big dark horses in this Cup, and each of their players must want to be in the dark to the end.

The Chinese team is indeed as Gao Jun said, the big guys are not so arrogant now, and they are very focused, in the first half, the British long passes of both sides were rushing, and the Chinese team had more or less some chances, but the UAE only had two shots, both away from the goal, and there was no threat at all.

After the start of the second half, since the two sides are still conservative, of course it is not good-looking, as time goes by, the game was not until the 80th minute, Pei Lan waved his hand and began to sacrifice the 433 formation, both sides were replaced with fast horses, Zhang Yuan rushed forward, the main attack!

Mahdi Ali also made a change immediately, replacing a striker with another striker with speed and impact, which clearly wanted to take advantage of the Chinese team's attack during this time to counterattack the Chinese team.

However, his dream did not come true, and Perran's adjustment had a positive effect, Zhang Yuan was more active after receiving support, and in the 82nd minute, he received a pass from a team-mate and tackled in front of goal to break the door of the United Arab Emirates.

This time is very uncomfortable for the UAE, Mahdi had to take the risk of attacking, as a result of his own defense more holes, in the 89th minute, Zhang Yuan assisted Wu Ke to score another point, China defeated the UAE 2:0, successfully advanced to the final.

The UAE is not strong, and the Chinese team was not as excited as the last game to win this victory, as if everything was taken for granted.

"The Chinese team is very strong, they put a lot of pressure on us! We are at a disadvantage in all aspects, although we want to continue to create miracles, but it is a bit difficult!" Mahdi Ali also had to admit after the game that the Chinese team is indeed superior.

"They have Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is the best player in the world, we have to limit it, so we put a lot of energy into defending and unfortunately we still can't stop them from scoring!

The Chinese team naturally did not forget to carry people in a sedan chair.

"They're dark horses?! No, I don't think so, their quality has proven that they have what it takes to get to this point, we are all in the middle of each other, this game is tough, it's nice to make it to the final, no matter who the next opponent is, our goal is to win the championship!" Zhang Yuan said at a press conference.

Some reporters also made it difficult for Perran, saying that the game was not good-looking, and it was perhaps the ugliest game of this tournament.

Perrin has been in China for several months, and I've heard an old Chinese saying, once you succeed, you will be ugly, okay, I honestly admit it in my heart, but we just win, don't we?!

"Ugly?!I strongly disagree with that!Both of our teams played well, didn't leave too many gaps on the defensive end, it was a hard, great game, not an ugly one!" Perrin replied in a relatively calm tone.

Do not agree to the ugly game is also far away in the country hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, they waited in front of the TV to watch the game, and finally advanced to the finals, many fans are in tears, the 2004 Asian Cup was held in China, but the Chinese team finally lost to the powerful Japan, lost the championship, 11 years later, the Chinese team can realize this dream?!
