It only took ten minutes for the Chinese team to lead Qatar by two goals.

Back then?

The pain of the year is now swept away.

In the past two years, the Chinese team has played any Asian team, and it has long been free of the pain of the year, and it is a hearty victory.

A light rain began to fall in the sky, which accelerated the feeling of heartiness. The players wiped the rain from their faces and their smiles looked even more delicate.

Looking at the light rain falling in the sky, Horton seemed to smell a hint of danger, and hurriedly pulled Li Yin over on the sidelines and told everyone not to get too excited. Fighting in rainy weather is dangerous and easy to cause injury, and reaching the semi-finals is not the end.

Then the Chinese team slowed down the pace, but Qatar did not intend to give up, almost the whole army pressed the border, trying to suppress the Chinese team by faster speed, Li Yin and Zheng Zhi's activity area is getting bigger and bigger, almost everywhere.

In the 25th minute, the cartels committed another foul, so that the Chinese team once again got a chance to set pieces in the front court, this time the position was changed to the right side outside the penalty area, the main penalty is still Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi drove the ball into the cartel penalty area, causing chaos in the penalty area, the Qatari goalkeeper's ability to defend high-altitude balls seems to be very limited, standing in front of the goal He hesitated, and was grabbed by Fan Zhiyi to the landing point, and smashed the lower left corner of the goal with his head, but unfortunately slightly off the post.

As the grass became more and more slippery, the advantage of the Chinese team gradually became smaller, and Qatar also ushered in 2 minutes later, Qatar's number one star Ennazi connected two people in the middle and shot from the top of the penalty area, but the ball was far off the goal. In the 30th minute, Qatar started the ball on the right side, and Jiang Jun still couldn't get rid of the old problem of not being decisive enough to attack, but fortunately, Fan Zhiyi cleared the siege with a decisive kick.

"It's raining at the wrong time,"

"It directly helped Qatar close the gap with the Chinese team, and players with better skills are often more afraid of fighting in the rain."

"The game lasted for half an hour, and we had already distanced ourselves, but now it seems that as long as the rain doesn't stop, danger is everywhere."

Huang Jianxiang sighed and said, "Heaven is not beautiful. ”

In the 36th minute, Li Ming's header returned to Jiang Jun when he returned to the defense, and he gave the opponent a corner kick in vain. After Qatar kicked a corner, the defenders of the Chinese team were not unified, and the Qatar team successfully countered offside, facing Jiang Jun in the small penalty area on the right, and No. 18 Najimi was in a hurry, and hit it high!

The Chinese team escaped!

After the catastrophe, the Chinese team immediately launched an attack.

Li Yin received the ball on the edge of the big penalty area, and immediately gave it to Li Ming, who accurately stuffed the ball to Yang Chen's feet.

After Yang Chen won the ball in the front court, he faced the opponent's three defenders and failed to force his way through, and the ball fell at the feet of Zheng Zhi who was inserted in the midfield. is a good Zheng Zhi, in the face of the outflanking of the opponent's three defenders, he still calmly took two steps, and then immediately shot a cold arrow outside the big penalty area!

Sou~

The ball slashed a diagonal line and flew straight into the top right corner of the goal, barely allowing the Qatari goalkeeper to move his body.

3:0！ The Chinese team has extended its lead again!

"The ball is in!"

"It's Zheng Zhi again!"

"This kick is too neat and sharp, in such a rainy environment, it is really not muddy and watery."

"These Qatars should be out of temper, right?"

Zheng Zhi didn't celebrate too much after the goal, but quickly ran back to his own half, but his teammates were very excited and rushed to Zheng Zhi in a swarm.

Outcome......

Qatar kicks off quickly!

"Hey,"

"Hey,"

"Hey!"

Horton was in a hurry, watching the Qatar team rush to the Chinese team's big penalty area after three passes and two deliveries.

Fan Zhiyi was also shocked, and he yelled, "Look at people! ”

Bang –

The opposing striker had already shot in front of the penalty area, but luckily the ball was deflected wide and no goals were conceded.

"Oops,"

"It's inexperience."

"Almost paid the price."

Jiang Jun in front of the goal ran to the referee to express his dissatisfaction, but was warned by the referee with a yellow card.

"Jiang Jun, what kind of operation is this?"

"Asking for a yellow card? The opponent is making reasonable use of the rules, Zheng Zhi returned to the half court just now, everyone ran over to celebrate, the opponent has no problem kicking off, unless he is not in his own half. ”

Zhang Lu explained what had just happened, and there was nothing wrong with the cartel's quick kick-off.

Everyone on the field was shocked, even Zheng Zhi didn't dare to look at General Fan, for fear of being scolded by General Fan.

"You, you, you, what are you running around?"

Wu Chengying, who has a good relationship, was scolded by Fan Zhiyi.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Wu Chengying hurriedly waved his hand and took the initiative to admit his mistake......

At the end of the half, the Chinese team still led 3:0, but everyone ran back to the locker room with their heads down, no one dared to giggle, and it was estimated that they would have to be scolded by Horton and Fan Zhiyi in the locker room for a while......

Sure enough, in the locker room, Horton hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Fan Zhiyi, as the captain, sprayed everyone first. But no one was depressed, the three-goal lead, everyone was in a good mood, and they all nodded obediently and admitted their mistakes.

As soon as Horton saw that Fan Zhiyi helped him scold, he didn't scold himself, but emphasized that he must continue to concentrate in the second half to ensure victory.

However, this time he did not make immediate adjustments in the second half, but continued to play with the same team, and the knockout round also made him cautious.

The Chinese team still attacked in the same formation. Qatar grabbed fiercely after the opening, pressed the defense line to the Chinese team's half, and won three set-pieces in a row within three minutes. In the 4th minute, the opponent won a direct free kick from 40 yards outside the penalty area, and the midfielder shot through the Chinese team's human wall, and the ball went straight to the top left corner. Fortunately, Jiang Jun was extraordinary, knocking the ball out with a single fist and turning the danger into a disaster.

Qatar still hasn't given up on the game, and they still have dreams after falling behind by three goals.

Just when the opponent pressed on the whole line, in the 58th minute, Li Tie bravely grabbed the ball at the opponent's feet, and then handed the ball to Zheng Zhi, who made a long pass to Yang Chen on the right side. At this time, Yang Chen showed the power of the Bundesliga striker, and after receiving the ball for the first time, he returned a "man and ball pass" to the opposing defender, leaned on the opponent with his body, and stabbed hard in the case of the opponent's goalkeeper, scoring the fourth goal from the crotch, and the Chinese team led 4:0.

"Yang Chen!"

"Yang Chen!"

"Yang Chen scored the fourth goal."

"He's so far ahead of the scorer charts and it looks like he's going to be the top scorer in this Asian Cup."

Seeing that the general trend has gone, Qatar is still unwilling, and continued to make substitutions in the 63rd minute to strengthen the offensive. The Chinese team firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and happily played a defensive counterattack.

However, in the 71st minute, Shao Jiayi made a mistake in controlling the ball in the backfield of the team, and launched a fast attack after being counter-robbed by the opponent on the spot, and scored from the forward-guard's wonderful pass to Ennaji, who was outflanked in the middle. At this time, the Chinese team has three defenses and one in the penalty area, and it is regrettable that they cannot prevent an attack point.

After the score became 4:1, Horton immediately replaced Shao Jiayi with Shensi to stabilize the formation.

Soon after, Yang Chen successfully rebounded in the midfield and gave it to Shens. Shen Si and Wu Chengying played two wonderful wall collisions in a row, and finally Wu Chengying inserted the bottom line cross at high speed, Yang Chen had quickly returned to his position, but unfortunately he was too big when receiving the ball, and was blocked by the opponent's defender and blocked the must-score goal.

A minute later, Li Ming was savagely fouled by his opponent on the left. The Malaysian referee finally showed a yellow card to Qatar's No. 4 Alkas. Zheng Zhi took a free kick with an excellent landing point, and the opposing defender was shocked, only to see a white-robed general flying to the top!

duang!!

The ball smashed the opponent's crossbar!

It turned out to be General Fan!

The general missed the chance to score again, and the previous header hit the goal by a fraction of a second, this time directly at the post, but there was no goal.

6 minutes later, the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity, Zheng Zhi took a corner kick, it was Li Weifeng's turn to shake his head in the right corner of the penalty area, the Qatari goalkeeper subconsciously blocked the must-score goal, but the ball still flew into the goal.

5:1！

Fan Zhiyi's unfinished goal, Li Weifeng came to complete it! The only time I fought for the top on the offensive end, the ball went in, and people really can't be compared......

The overall situation has been decided, and Horton finally made another substitution adjustment, Li Xiaopeng replaced Zheng Zhi, and Su Maozhen also replaced Qu Peng.

Qu Peng's game was a little bleak, and he originally wanted to use the speed to make a fuss, but he couldn't play it. On the contrary, Yang Chen, who had an eye-catching performance in this game, then had a shot at a very sharp angle, almost knocking on the opponent's door.

And Su Maozhen also got a great opportunity, in the 85th minute, the Chinese team successfully countered offside, Li Xiaopeng shook the goalkeeper on the right bottom line, and passed the ball to Su Maozhen near the small penalty area, Su Maozhen almost faced the empty goal, but he kicked the ball off. Su Maozhen regretted it, and stomped on the turf in anger, almost chopping off his own feet......

Before the end of the game, the rain became heavier and heavier, and although Qatar tried its best to fight back, it was all thrilling; The Chinese team also had an opportunity to expand the score and failed to seize it. In the end, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 5:1 and successfully entered the semi-finals, and will compete with the winners of Kuwait and Iraq for the right to the final this Thursday.

The 5:1 victory also made the Chinese team praise almost all the media for the first time.

Reuters: The Chinese team controlled the game

China beat Qatar 5-1 in a quarter-final match that lacked suspense, with China dominating most of the pitch. The two goals of Zheng Zhi, the No. 1 star in Asia, directly destroyed the will of the Qataris, he showed good ball control skills and shooting skills, and he also had Yang Chen with superb shooting skills in front of him, and behind him, there were good helpers like Li Yin, Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng, so it would be strange if the Chinese team did not win.

AP: Qatar can't afford to upset

The Chinese team rightfully defeated Qatar 5-1 to qualify for the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. Qatar's only goal came on 65 minutes, when Ennazi took advantage of the laxity of China's defence to score. The Chinese team, who were considered the favourites of the match, dominated the game. Qatar's two forwards struggled to compete with China's four defenders. The overall level of the Chinese team is much higher than that of Qatar.

AFP: Fan Zhiyi is very close to 6:1

The Chinese team defeated Qatar 5-1 on Monday to easily reach the quarterfinals. China's captain Fan Zhiyi missed a chance to change the scoreline in the 72nd minute when his header hit the crossbar, but five minutes later the Liverpool centre-back's partner Li Weifeng fulfilled his goal with a header.

The official website of the Asian Cup: The Chinese team welcomes victory in the rain

In the 1/4 finals of the Asian Cup in the rain, Qatar was unable to launch a strong offensive, and the Chinese team naturally defeated the opponent 5:1 and entered the semifinals. Due to the 0:3 deficit in the first half, Qatar was in adversity throughout the game, like a "difficult mountain climb". They are going to prepare for the semi-finals next, but neither Kuwait nor Iraq looks like they can pose a threat to the Chinese team, maybe they are already thinking about how to play well in the final?

Although it has been praised all over the world, the domestic "Sports Weekly" still finds faults:

Don't underestimate the enemy too much

Looking at the four games played by the Chinese team, it seems that there is no real strong team, but if you are complacent about your record, then defeat is in sight.

Inexperienced

During the game, he almost lost the ball because of the celebration, and Wu Chengying's left side had a lot of hidden dangers.

The defense still needs to be polished

The Chinese team's back line has always been no shortage of famous roles, from the perspective of personal ability, everyone can stand alone, but the players can only fight alone, lacking the awareness of assisting and supplementing defense. We can often see in the game that once the Chinese team is broken through at a certain point, then the Chinese team's back line is in trouble. In addition, Jiang Jun's yellow card should also attract Horton's attention, as if it was short-circuited.

But at this time, who cares about criticism?

At the press conference after the game, Zheng Zhi was interviewed by the media and didn't talk about the game at all, there was nothing to talk about in this game, the technical content was so low, no matter how much he blew it, he couldn't float anywhere, he pulled the topic to the 2004 Asian Cup.

He is now helping his motherland bid for the 2004 Asian Cup.

In order to obtain the right to bid for the 2004 Asian Cup, responsible persons of the football associations of the four Chinese bidding cities and some officials of the football associations flew from the capital to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, yesterday afternoon to make the final sprint for the bid.

Previously, Long Ge had already accompanied the national team to prepare for the bid in Lebanon, and officials from the Foreign Affairs Department of the Chinese Football Association also arrived in Beirut in advance. The delegation that departed yesterday brought the materials needed for the bid, including the introduction of the four cities of the promotional video, the visual model of the competition venues, the Football Association also specially invited CCTV to produce a special film for the bid, introducing the development of Chinese football and the four venues of the venue, transportation, communications, event experience and other details, in addition, the bid team also printed a color brochure to introduce the style and ancient culture of Chinese cities. The bid team will set up a booth at the hotel where AFC officials are staying, hoping that they will have a full understanding of the strength of China's bid.

It is reported that the 19 members of the AFC's executive committee will listen to the bidding statements of each country on October 27, and will finally vote on the 28th, the day before the Asian Cup is over, to decide who will win the bid for the 2004 Asian Cup.

China's main bidders are Thailand and Iran, which are more of a threat to China in terms of venues and facilities, and China is stronger than the other two countries in terms of the number of fans, spectators, and the spread of venues.

However, it's not as good as Zheng Zhi standing up and shouting directly, he is the number one star in Asia.

"In my opinion, China is ripe to host the Asian Cup, and among these competitors, China is undoubtedly the most suitable."

"We have the best fan resources, the best market, the best stadiums, the best conditions. Other countries are inferior to us in every way. ”

"In my opinion, it is a crime not to give China the right to host the 2004 Asian Cup!"
