Chapter 699: The Battle for Asian Hegemon!

Chinese fans also gave advice to the Chinese team on Sina.com:

"Japan has a phobia, every time the Japanese team plays with the Chinese team, the Japanese team attaches great importance to it, just like the Sino-Japanese confrontation match at the beginning of this year, I have to invite Nakata back to play the Chinese team that was in the trial industry at the time, it can be said that except for Nakata's normal performance, everyone else is not playing well, as if they can't make it out, and Nakata is also seen to death, and there are not many good balls basically transmitted. And in this game, Zheng Zhi was not in the national team, and Japan couldn't win. ”

"On the contrary, the Chinese team is particularly energetic to play the Japanese team, it seems that no matter how you fight, you will not lose, you will play a good move if you have a psychological advantage, and you will not be easily tired, we should still use a header to get rid of them, the midfielder of the Japanese team is afraid of close pressing, as long as we use our bodies to stick to the front court players of the Japanese team, do not let them run, in this way, they will be strong and unable to come out, and they must have the ruthlessness to break their legs, so that they are afraid, as long as the little Japan that plays technology is entangled by us, it will definitely be finished."

There are also very cautious fans:

"Football is a very special competitive sport. It is not necessary for one side to win if one side is better than the other, or even if one side plays better than the other, it will lose. The World Cup and other major competitions often perform the above scenes. Therefore, I think that in the battle between China and Japan tomorrow, the Chinese team can defeat small Japan as long as they do the following things: 1. Correct techniques and tactics; 2. Stable performance; 3. Tenacious spirit. From the current level of the Chinese and Japanese teams, the Chinese team is indeed stronger than Japan, but the gap between them is not so big that it cannot be remedied. ”

"A wonderful example in history is worth learning from, in the 86 World Cup, the French team led by Platini had a level and momentum above Brazil, Argentina and West Germany, especially after defeating the Brazilian team in the 8-in-4 game, the West German team believed that the French would definitely win, because the West German team at that time was not organized, the team was aging, and the technology was obviously insufficient. However, the Germans defeated the French team 2:0 with the above three points, and the Germans took the tactics of conceding the midfield, actively defending 20m in front of the penalty area, and playing the opponent's counterattack, defeating the French team in full swing. I remember that this successful example at that time caused a lot of discussion in the world football community. Today's situation between the Chinese and Japanese teams is very similar to that of the French and German teams at that time, so we have to be careful! ”

"There is also a saying that if you are hot, you will die, and I think it is really dangerous to fight small Japan."

……

……

Of course, these Chinese head coaches Horton can think of it.

It can be said that the arrogant soldiers will lose, although the Chinese team is strong, but after the winning streak, the players are very forgetful, Horton has seen the signs, he must kill the arrogance of the players.

We often say: "The first to win is paper, and the master is not the first to win". Judging from the World Cup, the European Cup and this Asian Cup, the team that is in too early form will not go far, Iran has returned home in this Asian Cup, and the Dutch team in this year's European Cup has beaten Yugoslavia 6:1. Didn't you just go through five penalties in the semi-finals? But before that, how many people are not optimistic about the Dutch team?

27th.

The day has finally arrived.

In Lebanon, the capital of Gurut, the stadium is still not half full, and the Asian Cup has been very cold from the beginning to today's final. It seemed that there were more birds flying in the sky than there were fans in the audience.

However, there are still a lot more Chinese fans who came to the scene than before, and it seems that there are hundreds of Chinese fans waving the five-star red flag in the sparsely scattered stands.

This is risking his life to come to Lebanon to watch the game.

On the side of the stadium, hundreds of reporters seemed particularly abrupt, and this wave of people was the real professionals. They had already set up long and short shots on the sidelines for this game.

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, fans and friends, welcome to the 12th Asian Cup Final in 2000, China VS Japan!" brought to you by CCBV!"

"Obviously, Japan and China are the two best teams in Asia."

"Today's final is a battle for the hegemony of Asia, and whoever wins will be the hegemon of Asia. If the Chinese team wins, they will be able to win the Asian Cup for the first time, and if the Japanese team wins, it will be the second time. ”

In the starting 442 lineup of Horton, goalkeeper Jiang Jun, defenders Wu Chengying, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai; Midfielders Li Ming, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Li Yin, and the forward line are still responsible for attacking together with Yang Chen and Su Maozhen, who have an eye-catching performance this year. As for the obvious reluctance of the Japanese team to change the formation, except for the replacement of Yuji Nakazawa with Naoki Matsuda, there are no changes to the starting 352 lineup: goalkeeper Noho Kawaguchi, defender Hattori Nenhiro, Ryuzo Morioka, Naoki Matsuda, midfielders Hiroshi Naha, Kanaki Morishima, Shunsuke Nakamura, Junichi Inamoto, Tomokazu Akemi, and on the forward line are the two current top scorers Akinori Nishizawa and Naoyasu Takahara. ”

"Three defenders, Japan sacrificed defenders in order to increase the strength of the midfield, Yang Chen and Hao Haixi's opportunity came, of course, their two fullbacks can be withdrawn at any time and become defenders, and the formation has changed from 352 to 532."

"Olympic champion VS World Junior Championship runner-up! The race is about to begin! ”

Beep~

The Chinese team took the lead in kicking off, and the ball quickly fell to the feet of Zheng Zhi, and the Japanese player's pressing was quite fast, immediately suppressing the passing space of the Chinese team.

The Chinese players passed continuously, and the speed naturally increased. Among the 11 people who started, except for Li Ming, Su Maozhen and Wu Chengying, the other players all played in Europe, and they were actually not very worried about such a pressing, and the ball passed quite calmly.

The Japanese team grabbed the ball for more than a minute and couldn't grab the ball, Morishima Kanaki was inseparable from Zheng Zhi's side, Zheng Zhi didn't have any way to get the ball three times, and the fourth time, Morishima Kanaki simply put Zheng Zhi down.

However, after Zheng Zhi drove the ball out, he wanted to hand the ball to Yang Chen, but Yang Chen was unstable in protecting the ball and was stolen by Ming Bohao! The Japanese team, which got the ball for the first time, immediately launched an offensive, and with the advantage of the number of midfielders, it quickly advanced to the backfield of the Chinese team, but the middle barrier formed by Zheng Zhi and Li Yin still protected the Chinese team's defense line very well, and the Japanese players were not in a hurry, and the ball was divided into two sides, and then quickly passed the ball back to the middle.

In fact, they wanted to stretch the attacking width, but in the end they wanted to find the possibility of breaking through the middle. Why? Because they have no advantage in height, they can only make a fuss in the middle, but the Chinese team is the strongest in the middle, and the defense has a strong sense of hierarchy.

In this way, the Japanese players once again split the ball to the side.

Junichi Inamoto and Shunsuke Nakamura took turns controlling the midfield and keeping it in order. For a few minutes, the Chinese team's defense was really exhausted!

"Huh,"

"Sure enough, you can't underestimate the Japanese team, and the cooperation is not weaker than the Chinese team at all."

"Fortunately, now the Japanese team tried to pass the ball in from the middle several times, but they were still forced to the side."

In the end, the ball flew into the Chinese team's penalty area from the right side, but no Japanese player could complete the shot, and the ball finally fell to the feet of Zheng Zhi, who knocked back directly to Fan Zhiyi, and then pulled away to the right to receive the ball. But Shunsuke Nakamura and Jun Inamoto came in an instant, from both sides. The two of them are really playing hard, and they don't plan to give Zheng Zhi any time to get the ball.

Zheng Zhi didn't worry about this anymore, he still calmly hit the wall with Sun Jihai, and then handed the ball to Li Ming, and Sun Jihai in the back continued to rush forward, which is equivalent to two players on the right side at the same time.

Zheng Zhi ran to the middle lane, but Shunsuke Nakamura and Junichi Inamoto did not let him go, although the left side had been lost, the two of them still followed Zheng Zhi. Obviously, today is to kill Zheng Zhi!

Sun Jihai and Li Ming played a one-two, and then immediately crossed at a 45-degree angle! The ball quickly fell into the front of the Japanese team's penalty area, and Su Maozhen rose into the air, stretched his heroic posture, and threw it Naoki Matsuda's head!

Da~

The ball slid across the lintel and almost flew into the goal.

Call~

Troussier, who was next to the Japanese coach's bench, instantly exhaled and felt like his entire chest was going to explode, but fortunately there was no heart attack, otherwise he would have been scared to death.

The back three were too dangerous to deal with the two strikers of the Chinese team, but he couldn't help it, and he would rather make the midfield stronger than put too many people at the back. He's not a conservative guy, he's attacking and he's more willing to take the initiative to win.

He never thinks that there is much difference between the Japanese and Chinese teams, on the contrary, Japan's overall combat capability is actually a little stronger than China's, and even its attitude is better than that of the Chinese team.

However, he still underestimated the Chinese team, and when it was the turn of the Japanese team to attack, the Chinese team's defense was no worse than Japan's. And the physical confrontation is stronger, when the Japanese team wanted to attack from the right side, Shao Jiayi made a tactical foul in the front court, which directly killed their idea of playing a fast attack. Shao Jiayi's movements are not big, but his physical fitness is good, and Mingbo Hao's body can't form a confrontation at all.

After suffering a loss, Ming Bohao faced Shao Jia again and passed the ball early. The Japanese team raised the tempo again, and the continuous passing cooperation played smoothly, but Li Yin and Zheng Zhi's large-scale coverage and running were also very good, which also forced them to play the ball as soon as possible, and finally the ball passed to Takahara Naotai, but Fan Zhiyi killed from the horizontal stab, cut off his long legs fiercely, and easily broke the ball.

But Zheng Zhi's side was still staring at two players, Fan Zhiyi simply kicked the ball with a big foot, and directly sent the ball to the top of Su Maozhen's head at the front, Su Maozhen carried Morioka Matsumori steadily, and with a slight head click, he directly pointed the ball to Yang Chen's front!

Yang Chen pulled his leg and rushed up, which frightened Naoki Matsuda and simply grabbed Yang Chen's arm directly, not letting Yang Chen go over at all.

Beep

Fouled.

Naoki Matsuda received a yellow card.

Zheng Zhi drove the free kick directly into the Japanese team's big penalty area, and another defender, Hattori Nianhiro, did not dare to be careless and pushed the ball directly out of the bottom line.

Corner kick.

Shao Jiayi took a corner kick, the landing point was not very good, and it was pushed out by the plateau Zhitai who returned to the defense, but the ball was not far away, Li Yin got the ball, and immediately divided the right side, Li Ming took the ball again!

Looking for Su Maozhen again. However, it was still pushed out, although the Japanese players did not have a high-altitude advantage, but the number of people still took advantage.

This time it was Sun Jihai's turn to get the ball, and he took a step and then picked up the ball again!

It's high-altitude bombing again, blatantly playing like this.

This time, the ball fell a little deep, too close to goalkeeper Kawaguchi can live, but Kawaguchi can live is not tall, did not dare to catch the ball with both hands, but punched out of the big penalty area.

Zheng Zhi turned around on the line of the penalty area and raised his right foot to hook, the ball went around his head and fell back into the penalty area, Shunsuke Nakamura next to him wanted to squeeze in front of him, but found that Zheng Zhi had slashed lightly with the outside of his foot, and the ball secretly bounced to the feet of Sun Jihai who was inserted forward, and Sun Jihai won the ball directly and shot angrily!

Boom –

The half-high ball smashed directly on Junichi Inamoto's body and popped off the bottom line.

Another corner.

"Ouch,"

"The Japanese team is hard, you can't score with such a kick."

Li Ming took a corner kick on the right side, and another curling ball fell into the goal of the Japanese team, Kawaguchi was able to swing his fist again, and once again knocked the ball out of the penalty area, Wu Chengying unloaded the ball with his right foot, and immediately followed with his left foot!

The ball flew off the baseline.

This wave of crazy attacks has finally come to an end.

I thought that the noisy scene would be gone for a while, but a minute later, the Chinese team regained the ball again, Li Weifeng came up with the ball from the backfield, and saw that there was no one around, he simply continued to rush up with the ball and rushed to the front of the Japanese team's big penalty area.

Yoh?

Still no one came up in time to block him, Li Weifeng simply hit the door directly, this feeling of being ignored is really unpleasant.

The shot with the right foot on the instep of the right foot is endless.

Bang!

It still shot at the Japanese player's body, bounced, and flew into the air.

This bullet bounced towards Zheng Zhi, this time Zheng Zhi was only Shunsuke Nakamura alone, after all, there was no space, and Junichi Inamoto ran to stare at others.

This also gave Zheng Zhi room to move, he didn't turn around, but carried it hard in an instant, almost carrying Shunsuke Nakamura down, and after carrying out a trace of moving space, Zheng Zhi suddenly jumped back on the spot! I don't jump high, just to get up.

"Ahh

"Barb!"

With a click, Zheng Zhi volleyed a barb and pumped the ball with the instep of his right foot.

It's so sudden.

Everyone thought that Zheng Zhi would stop the ball and turn around, but he shot directly at the goal?

The ball flew into the top right corner of the goal, and Kawaguchi didn't react at all.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Zheng Zhi!"

"Zheng Zhi !!"

"Shocking barb shot!"

"What a god descended from heaven!"

“1:0!”
