449 Facing the Host!
The 2014 Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held in Zurich, Switzerland.
Tang Hong was absent and could not be present.
After the results of the Golden Globe Awards were announced, Tang Hong's ranking rose one place from last year.
He rose from third last year to second.
Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for the second consecutive year.
Tang Hong second.
Messi third.
Tang Hong is only 4 points ahead of Messi and 12 points behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
It can be regarded as losing the Golden Globe Award by a relatively large disadvantage.
The German media is upset with Tang Hong, but in fact, it is more like they can't get used to seeing Ronaldo win the award.
Because Neuer, the German player with the highest percentage of votes, did not even enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or and ranked fourth.
Germany is the winner of the 2014 World Cup!
And the reasons for Tang Hong's grievances are also sufficient.
In the Champions League final, Tang Hong led Dortmund to defeat Real Madrid led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
In addition, Tang Hong set a new single-season goal record in the Bundesliga!
Who made the Ballon d'Or selection mechanism have high requirements for the popularity of stars?
Coaches and captains of national teams from all over the world often lag behind in their perception of stars, and it is rare to win the European Footballer of the Year in this era as Ronaldo when he was born.
The longer he lived in Europe, the more indifferent Tang Hong became to the double standards of the Western world.
Once you get used to it, there's nothing to worry about.
Besides, he has improved from last year, so there is no need to be unfair, and there is nothing to worry about being able to beat the world champion and runner-up to become the second place in the Golden Globe award in the tournament year.
In the third game of the group stage of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team came to Canberra to face the North Korean team, which was defeated in both games and eliminated early.
The Chinese team rotated the lineup.
Most of the main players were rested.
Tang Hong still didn't show up to fight.
Van der Sheer will use Tang Hong in the knockout round!
After a brief splendor in the 2010 World Cup, North Korea was unable to sustain its success and was quickly beaten back to its original form.
In the final game of the group stage, they fought for honor, and the Chinese team still came to greet them with a defensive counterattack that blocked the water and covered the ground.
Without Qin Rui and Wu Lei, the threat of the Chinese team's counterattack has dropped significantly.
But fortunately, the players in the rotation squad worked hard and their fighting spirit on the field was impeccable.
After experiencing the World Cup, the Chinese team does not dare to say that it has changed from the roots, but the mental outlook of the national team has long been renewed and has become the norm.
Players like Feng Xiaoting who don't work hard still haven't turned over, but they can't quit the national team with the heart to come again, after all, they will be drowned by the saliva of fans across the country!
When you have the opportunity to appear, you must sacrifice your life to fight, otherwise you will be pointed at by a thousand people.
In the game with few chances in the whole game, the Chinese team defeated the North Korean team 1:0 with Sun Ke's goal.
The reason why Sun Ke continued to start was because when he entered the knockout round, Tang Hong would inevitably return to the starter, and he would have to sit on the bench and wait for the dispatch.
China's performance of winning all three games in the group stage and keeping clean sheets quickly made them the favourites to win the Asian Cup, and Uzbekistan beat Saudi Arabia in the final game of the same group to qualify for the tournament.
In the final match of Group A, the South Korean team defeated the Australian team 1:0, and the two teams qualified together.
Iran and the United Arab Emirates in Group C, Japan and Iraq in Group D.
The quarterfinals of the Asian Cup are born.
Coming to the knockout round Group A and the advancing teams from Group B.
The Chinese team and the host Australian team met in a narrow way.
In view of the fact that Tang Hong was targeted by the Australian media before, Tang Hong did not attend the pre-game press conference before the game, and Van der Hill was questioned by the Australian media under pressure.
The core question is actually this: Is Tang Hong going to appear?
In the group stage, the Chinese team still had reservations, but even so, it still got the best result for the team to participate in the Asian Cup.
If you enter the knockout round, you will inevitably lose the king!
The fears of the Australian media have become reality.
At half past six in the evening of January 22, an hour earlier, South Korea had defeated Uzbekistan 2-0 in Melbourne to advance to the semifinals of the Asian Cup.
China and Australia will decide the second semi-final team in Newcastle.
Fans of the host Australian team filled the stadium stands, while the Chinese team fans appeared to be a little pitiful.
When Tang Hong wore the captain's armband and walked at the front of the team with a ball boy in his hand, the Chinese fans cheered excitedly.
"CCTV, CCTV, good evening to all viewers and friends, welcome to the second game of the 2015 Australian Asian Cup 14 finals, Australia vs. China.
This contest should be the most watched strong dialogue since this Asian Cup.
Both China and Australia are considered favourites to win the tournament, and the meeting between the two teams in the 14 finals has raised some concerns that the knockout rounds later in the tournament may lack spectacle, but for us Chinese fans, sooner or later we will meet the favourites, and it will be the same if we play early or late.
We saw that Tang Hong, the captain of the Chinese team, finally entered the starting list today.
After coming to Australia, Tang Hong was suspended for the entire group stage, in order to recharge his energy and perform better in the knockout round.
We believe that today's Chinese team will not be afraid of the host Australian team in all aspects!
Australia started today with 442.
Goalkeeper: Ryan.
Defenders: Wilkinson, Sainsbury, Besic, Franzic.
Midfielders: Miligan, Massimo Longo, McKay, Troich.
Forwards: Cahill, Kreuzer.
The Chinese team started 433.
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.
Defenders: Zhao Hanchun, Zhang Linpeng, Liu Tao, Zhang Binyi.
Midfielders: Wu Xi, Luo Hongkai, Zhao Xujun.
Forwards: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.
Both teams have come up with their strongest lineups, and I think if Australia wants to attack the Chinese team, then they will have to withstand the sharp counterattack of the Chinese team.
The game starts immediately, let's cheer for the Chinese team together, we are confident of knocking out the hosts! ”
With the referee's whistle, the Australian team kicked off first.
Tang Hong and his front teammates actively counter-attacked near the midfield.
Australia's attack was more cautious.
There are more passes in the middle and long distances, and the frequency of midfielders is not high, which basically does prevent the counterattack of the Chinese team.
In the 4th minute of the game, Tang Hong received Zhang Binyi's pass on the left side of the front field, and then went directly to the ball and changed to cut in, when he was tripped by Milligan from the side and fell to the ground.
But the referee turned a blind eye and didn't even blow a penalty for a foul.
Tang Hong suddenly realized that he was going to encounter the home whistle today!
After all, Australia is the host, and it is not too much for the referee to give a few faces, which is an unspoken rule in the football circle.
It would be strange if the host of a tournament did not receive even a little care from the judges.
Australia patiently organized the offensive, most of the time it was meaningless and invalid passes, and the Chinese team as a whole remained patient and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 19th minute of the game, when Cahill was cut off by Liu Tao at the front of the penalty area, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack was immediately launched.
Zhang Binyi passes the ball straight forward from the left.
Tang Hong was caught in the back and forth when he stopped the ball on the left side of the midfield, and he knocked the ball diagonally back to Luo Hongkai, who was running to respond.
Immediately after the ball, he ran inside and cut into the middle of the front court, and Luo Hongkai sent a wonderful diagonal pass to the ground.
When the football rolled to the left side of the front court, Qin Rui pulled the side to control the ball, turned forward and dribbled forward to advance the offensive, dribbling all the way to the edge of the penalty area.
At this time, he decisively crossed the ball diagonally into the middle of the penalty area.
Tang Hong stepped forward and took the initiative to stop the ball with his right foot, which led the defender Sainsbury's center of gravity to move, but in the next second, he stopped with his left foot and pulled the ball back in front of him.
Becic came from the right front, and Tang Hong pulled the ball behind him and knocked the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.
Wu Lei, who was already unmarked, rushed to meet the ball and pushed it to the far corner of the goal.
Australian goalkeeper Ryan couldn't touch the ball in his save and watched it hit the far post and bounce into the net!
After scoring the goal, Wu Lei smiled and pointed at Tang Hong to hug him, while Tang Hong beckoned to Qin Rui.
The Australian generals looked solemn and their hearts were even heavier!
"The ball is in! In the opening 20 minutes, Wu Lei received Tang Hong's assist to complete the goal!
The Chinese team broke through Australia's goal with a wave of defensive counterattacks!
I think everyone understands why Australians are afraid of Tang Hong's appearance!
Because Tang Hong is a superstar who is above other players on the court!
He consumed more of Australia's defensive forces, but Australia couldn't defend against him!
In this counterattack, Tang Hong responded on the side of the midfield, and then ran into the penalty area to respond, pinned down Australia's last line of defense in front of the goal and sent an assist with a brilliant knock on the ball behind him!
The Asian Cup is indeed not very challenging for Tang Hong.
I think if Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi came to the Asian Cup, they would also be a nightmare for every team!
That's the power of a superstar!
They are like nuclear weapons on a green field!
The Chinese team leads Australia 1:0! ”
Chinese fans were ecstatic, and Australian fans fell silent.
Australia is behind the score, so it is natural to catch up.
No matter how much you are afraid of the Chinese team's counterattack, you must now launch a strong attack on the Chinese team's defense.
And they have begun to use some very out-of-the-ordinary moves when defending against Tang Hong.
When Miligan dragged Tang Hong with a takedown, Massimo Goron tackled from behind the side, and Wilkinson was obviously suspected of raising his elbow when he broke through, the referee only blew them for a foul instead of giving a yellow card.
Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team attacked fast on the right side of the front, and Tang Hong's left side was heavily guarded by the opponent, but the right side was empty.
Wu Lei quickly dribbled to the outside of the penalty area, at this time Qin Rui was marked by Sainsbury in the penalty area, Tang Hong quickly stepped forward to get rid of Australia's midfield defense, and Wu Lei decisively crossed the ball horizontally.
Tang Hong just stopped the ball in front of the penalty line when he saw Besic pounce, and he pulled the ball back and took a step back to make Besic's kick steal miss.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Hong started to rush past the opponent with the ball again, Besic turned around and pulled Tang Hong, and at the moment when Tang Hong fell in the penalty area, Tang Hong still shot the ball out with a sweeping shot!
The soccer ball flies straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
The Chinese fans cheered excitedly.
But in the next second, fans all over the world watching this game were stunned.
The referee ruled that the goal was invalid, and Bessic fouled back, and gave the Chinese team a free kick on the line of the penalty area!
