The semi-finals were so easy that all the fans did not expect.

What happened to the Chinese team today?

Did you take the medicine?

Why did you attack so violently?

For this phenomenon, even Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong can't explain it clearly.

The two glanced at each other, Liu Jianhong lifted his glasses and said: "If the Chinese team can maintain such momentum in the last game, I'm afraid it will be the same!" ”

Huang Jianxiang deeply agreed after hearing this, and when playing against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team did maintain a fierce offensive against Saudi Arabia for a period of time after scoring two goals, but it didn't score.

And today the Chinese team was lucky, and the interval between the three goals was not very long. And by the time the third goal was scored, the first half was over. In this way, even if the army's heart is unstable again and the thinking is not unified again, Qi Zhaosheng will help everyone adjust during the intermission.

I don't know if it was because the Chinese team played too smoothly and smoothly in the first half, or because the performance of the players was indeed irreplaceable. During the intermission, Qi mistakenly gave birth to the old god and sat on the side, without squeaking.

Gu Mingchang, the assistant coach, only reminded him to shrink the defense line in the second half to conserve his strength, play defensive counterattacks, and then shut his mouth.

In the second half, the Chinese team, which led by 3 goals, began to slowly retreat in strict accordance with the coach's requirements.

However, the hosts did not want to lose by such a score in the Asian Cup held on home soil, and they launched fierce attacks from four directions, left, center, right and high, and frequently fought with the first line of defense of the Chinese team standing in the midfield.

After many times, the UAE set its sights on the right side of the Chinese team. After all, judging from his face, Sun Jihai is too tender.

Peng Weiguo and Cao Zhidong kept assisting Sun Jihai on the side, and Sun Jihai, who played as a right-back again, did not dare to make a move easily. As a full-back, he needs to be supported by his team-mates to get up close.

Finally in the 68th minute, the UAE striker moved to the right and shook off Peng Weiguo, and ran towards Sun Jihai with the ball.

Sun Jihai retreated and ran, stuck on the inside line. In the afterglow, Cao Liangdong's figure is getting closer and closer. Just when he was about to catch up with the opponent's striker, Sun Jihai did not hesitate to stretch his feet forward, and his whole body blocked in front of the opponent. The opponent's striker couldn't brake, and before his feet could stand firmly, Cao Jiedong behind him rushed over and shoveled him to the ground.

The Thai referee did not hesitate to run to Cao and held up a red card above his head to announce the end of his Asian Cup journey. Cao Liangdong got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and didn't distinguish it, turned around and walked off the court.

But just before Cao Zhidong walked to the sideline, there was a sudden round of applause in the stands.

Accompanied by a series of shouts of "good job" and "it's a man", Cao Liangdong, who bowed his head and was silent, couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were full of tears, he raised his hands, and kept hitting each other.

After Cao Zhidong left the game, the Chinese team made a decisive substitution, and Yang Chen replaced Su Maozhen and stepped back to defend.

Only Gao Feng was left in the frontcourt.

Seeing that the Chinese team reacted so quickly, some fans had question marks in their heads.

"Am I making up? What happened to Qi Shusheng today? Got the engine in the head? The substitution is so decisive?! ”

The camera found Qi Zhaosheng sitting on the bench, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and did not stand on the sidelines as he had done in previous games.

Gu Mingchang patted Cao Zhidong, took him off the field, and sent him to the player's tunnel.

Facing a Chinese team with one less player, the UAE seems to see hope.

In the 75th minute of the game, the Chinese team was unsuccessfully counterattacked, and the four people in the front court of the United Arab Emirates launched a rapid counterattack in the front court. For a while, in the backfield of the entire Chinese team, only Sun Jihai was left to chase back.

In the face of the menacing United Arab Emirates, Ou Chuliang abandoned the door without thinking about it. Looking at the Emirati striker, who had played too much, Ou Chuliang found the opportunity to rush out of the penalty area with all his might, trying to clear the ball before the opponent's next touch.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The opposing striker was determined to score this goal, and suddenly picked up speed at the last minute, gently knocked the ball sideways, and tossed it to the feet of his teammate on the other side.

With a pop, the striker was knocked to the ground by Ou Chuliang. But the referee saw the Emirati players on the other side desperately chasing the ball, and did not blow the whistle.

In the footage, three UAE players gathered in front of the goal, one of the strikers lightly pushed at the empty goal of the Chinese team on the line of the penalty area, and after the ball landed in the air, it bounced again towards the gate of the Chinese team.

At this moment, a white lightning bolt suddenly picked up speed.

Under the gaze of the Emirati fans who were about to stand up and cheer behind the goal, the No. 13 player of the Chinese team fell to the ground and stretched his legs, slid a straight line on the ground, and kicked the ball out of the bottom line with his toes above the goal line.

For a while, all the Emirati players stopped their pace of celebrating, and looked at Sun Jihai who stood up from the goal line with a look of nothing.

At this moment, Sun Jihai is like the sun on the football field, shining brightly.

“...... UAE Knock on the Door! Sun Jihai! OMG! No. 13 Sun Jihai! Sun Jihai sped up a sliding tackle and saved the ball on the goal line! Huang Jianxiang's roar couldn't hide the shock of the audience at all, and in the camera, Sun Jihai, who had just dedicated an earth-shattering rescue, hadn't reacted much.

He only knew that he had to do his best to save every ball as a defender, but he didn't think about how difficult it was for him to save the ball this time.

The young Sun Sun scratched his head, and didn't seem to react to why so many fans were shouting, why all the cameras behind the goal line were aimed at him.

After standing up, he also picked up the ball that bounced off the billboard and threw it back to the staff. And the other party looked at Sun Jihai dumbfounded, and there was no reaction at all.

"How did these guys screen out, and why were they so slow to respond?"

Before Sun Jihai could figure it out, he felt that his body was suddenly firmly held by a pair of big hands.

Ou Chuliang, who was excited, picked up Sun Jihai and turned around directly without standing still, even so, he couldn't release all the excitement in his heart.

"Beautiful!"

"It's a beautiful chase!"

"Jihai, this ball is really amazing!"

Facing the teammates who came over one after another, Sun Jihai touched the back of his head and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Who messed up my hairstyle just now?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.

After getting along these days, everyone has more or less learned about Sun Jihai's arrogant and petty nature. When everyone can't stand the praise, he often changes the subject.

"Jihai, you're completely famous!" Xu Hong patted Sun Jihai on the shoulder and pointed to the big screen above his head.

It was only then that Sun Jihai realized that he had saved the ball on the goal line in a 1V4 situation. In this way, the UAE striker, who fell to his knees behind him and did not dare to accept the reality, also made sense.

Ou Chuliang glanced at Sun Jihai like a boxing referee and raised Sun Jihai's right arm. The fans also stood up and gave the hero the most enthusiastic applause.

Although the Chinese team has a three-goal lead, it doesn't hurt to let the UAE score one. But Sun Jihai's attitude of never giving up is something that everyone should learn from.

With such a good chance not to score, the UAE is exhausted.

When the opponent began to focus on the third-place final, the Chinese team eliminated the host 3-0 and easily advanced to the final.
