The Japanese team became more and more impatient, and they repeatedly attacked in a big way, trying to penetrate the Chinese defense with short passes, but they were blocked by the Great Wall of China again and again. In the 68th minute, the Chinese team seized a counterattack opportunity, Hao Jun and Qin Gude went hand in hand, and the Japanese team sprinted in the half, and the latter shook the goalkeeper between the mutual passes!

The 4-0 score did not make the Japanese team lose their fighting spirit, and they replaced two attackers, Moe Hosobe and Yosuke Kashiwagi, completely abandoned the defense and threw all their forces into the attack.

The defensive pressure of the Chinese team immediately increased sharply, except for Yang Xuri, everyone else had to participate in the defense, and the penalty area was stormy for a while, goalkeeper Yang Zhi finally showed his skills, and in 10 minutes of continuous high and low blocks, with the assistance of his teammates, he tried to keep the goal open.

However, the fitness and concentration of the Chinese players declined rapidly with time, and in the 81st minute, Keisuke Honda sent a sharp through plug from the side, and the fine shell Meng burst into the penalty area.

The referee from Singapore blew the whistle at the first time, pointing to 12 yards and showing Dewey the second yellow card of the game to eject him from the game.

"Two yellows turn into one red, penalty kicks ......" Zhang Bin sighed in the sky, "Even if we let Japan have a ball." ”

Standing on the penalty spot, Keisuke Honda scored his second goal of the Asian Cup.

The Japanese team that scored the goal was more offensive, and Gao Hongbo also completed the final substitution after the penalty: Deng Zhuoxiang and Huang Bowen replaced Shao Jiayi and Yang Xuri, who were at the bottom of the physical fitness, ** Peng and Li Xuepeng, two fullback-born players formed a temporary defense line in the middle, Yang Hao moved to the right wing-back, and the Chinese team sacrificed a non-striker lineup that focused on defense with one less player.

The energetic Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuyang formed the interception defense line in the midfield, and with the involvement of Qin Gude and Artemisia Jun, they basically resolved more than half of the threat offensive of the Japanese team, and the physical fitness of the Japanese players was finally close to exhaustion.

The game quickly went into stoppage time, and the desperate Japanese team launched a suicidal charge towards the Chinese team - all 11 players crossed half time, and even goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima squeezed into the box to grab a header based on his height.

But this time the corner kick was pushed out by ** Peng, and Huang Bowen grabbed the landing point and directly picked up his thigh and kicked the ball to the midfield.

Artemisia Jun, who was cruising outside the big penalty area, had long lost the body to sprint, he could only watch the football cross the halfway line, but he was powerless to catch up, and Qin Gude, who had already run a little bit out of breath, looked at each other and shook his head.

But behind them, a strong wind suddenly swept by: Rong Ritian, who had just completed a defense, came out of the side stabbing diagonally and chased after the football.

"Rong Ritian, who played the whole game, still has the body to sprint? I really can't run to death! Zhang Lu exclaimed.

"The game is coming to an end, so let's quietly enjoy the last attack of the Chinese team." Zhang Bin's love suddenly returned to calm at the end.

When Rong Ritian caught up with the football, the Japanese team did not even have a player into the half, and Kawashima Eiji fell directly to his knees in the Chinese team's penalty area, helplessly watching Rong Ritian send the ball into the gate that should have been guarded by himself.

"Toot, toot...... Honk! ”

"It's over! The Chinese team swept the Japanese team with a score of 5 to 1! The Chinese team won the Asian Cup for the first time! Zhang Bin's calm just now seemed to be just disguised, and the moment the referee blew the whistle, his emotions were immediately ignited again.

"A month ago, who could have imagined that the Chinese team would be the final winner? Countless seniors with more experience than them could not accomplish the task, but this group of the youngest lads in history has fulfilled the wishes of all Chinese fans! ”

"We are champions!"

―

At the medal ceremony that followed, Australia took the bronze medal first, and Japan, who were just one step away from the championship, took the runner-up medal, and when China came out, the entire stadium was completely covered in bright red flags, and the fans in the stands jumped and sang together, many of whom cried with joy.

The president of the AFC, Qatari Mohammed bin Hammam, handed over the oddly shaped mini Champions Cup to the members of the Chinese team, and although the Chinese team eliminated his home country, he also smiled and encouraged each Chinese player.

When Qin Gude stepped onto the podium, the old Haman showed a very complicated look, and he said in somewhat vague English: "I watched the second round of the competition, and you changed a qiē. Incredible table xiàn. ”

"Uh, thank you, Mr. Chairman." Qin Gude didn't know that the old man was from the host, he accepted the trophy with a little excitement and walked off the podium with his head held high.

Shao Jiayi, the captain of the Chinese team, stayed at the end, and on behalf of the whole team, he held the trophy symbolizing the Asian championship high, and the atmosphere of the audience reached its peak.

Colorful foils and streamers filled the air, and the national flag on the high platform seemed to shine differently.

"Poof, bang!"

Someone opened the champagne behind him, and the golden waves of wine rushed into the sky.

Champion coach Gao Hongbo was surrounded by young players and knew that his decision a month earlier had changed his fortunes.

Shao Jiayi in the crowd had already moistened his eyes: to be able to participate in this Asian Cup...... That's nice! -

The biggest dark horse of this Asian Cup not only had the last laugh, but also became the biggest winner in the post-match awards.

Qin Good, who has 7 goals and 5 passes, won the best players in the tournament and the finals, and won the two individual honors of the Golden Boot and the Assist King, Hao Jun, Rong Ritian, Zhao Xuyang, and Rong Ritian were collectively selected into the best team, in addition, Qin Gude and Hao Jun were also selected into the list of the most anticipated newcomers.

The breakthrough of breaking the zero championship of the tournament and stepping on the corpse of Japan to be crowned, which made Gao Hongbo's popularity immediately rise to an unprecedented height, and these young lads have all become national heroes, whether it is the future or the money, there is no limit.

Almost in the early morning of the second day after the end of the Asian Cup, FIFA announced the latest national team rankings, and the Chinese team, which unexpectedly won the Asian Cup, jumped from 79th place before the game to 58th, not only creating the best ranking in history, but also surpassing Saudi Arabia and Iran, which are not good at the table, in the AFC team, ranking only fourth after Japan (21), Australia (24), and South Korea (39).

The next day, the national team soldiers were received by the leaders of the Football Association, and Shao Jiayi took the two little brothers Hao Jun and Qin Gude on the plane to Germany for the first time, avoiding the leader's enthusiastic speech and a grander celebration banquet afterwards - Shao Jiayi's wife and daughter met with Qin Gude's family to continue traveling in Qatar.

When the plane landed, it was 7 p.m. in China, and the news network devoted nearly five minutes to the national team's historic breakthrough, and then the focus interview also launched an unprecedented half-hour review of a football match, and the sports channel was eager to spend the whole night summing up the huge victory of the Asian Cup - of course, the three of them have no way of knowing.
