A men's U23 quarter-final at the Asian Games can't even make a splash in world football, and the vast majority of fans have never even heard of this event.

But in Hwakook and South Korea, the result of this match caused heated discussions among the media and fans that night and the next day.

Huaguo is naturally celebrated by the whole country.

Although the Chinese team has gold medals every day, football, as the world's number one sport, naturally has countless fans and non-fans paying attention.

There are many sports in China that are no match for foreign countries, so why does football attract such a big reputation?

It's because there are so many people watching football!

Therefore, after decades of Koreanophobia, Huaguo football first defeated the South Korean national team 3-0 in the East Asian semifinals by Gao Hongbo's senior national team this year.

Now, the national football team defeated the South Korean Olympic team 3-2 in the U23-level Asian Games, which can naturally cause overwhelming media reports and heated discussions among fans.

"The National Olympic Team defeated South Korea 3-2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Games and won the first victory in the history of the two sides at the Olympic level! 》

"Cheng Hai scored a hat trick again and led the National Olympic team to defeat South Korea 3-2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Games! 》

"Despite the danger of the game, the national Olympic team still held on to the results of Cheng Hai's hat trick, and finally defeated South Korea 3-2 and entered the quarterfinals of the men's football team in the Asian Games! 》

Fans had heated discussions in various forums, news comment areas, post bars, QQ groups and other places.

From Cheng Hai's captain's armband, to his big leg cramps, to his 11 goals in 4 games, etc., as well as the strict defense of the National Olympic team in the final stage of fouls, it has become a hot topic among fans.

Needless to say, Cheng Hai's toughness completely conquered all the fans.

Even if the rest of the national Olympic team, although some people sarcastically rely on Cheng Hai to carry it, there are still people who think that the defense of the national Olympic team is still very desperate after the whole game, and compared with the first half of the group stage of the first game VS Japan, the mental state and hard work are much stronger.

Obviously, under the leadership of Cheng Hai, although the skills of the national Olympic team are still rookies, their mental state and hard work have indeed improved a lot.

In the eyes of some fans, at least this is a good turnaround.

If the national teams at all levels of the Chinese national team can make some achievements in the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, the Olympic Games, and the World Cup under the leadership of Cheng Hai, it will surely influence many young people to join the sport of playing football, increase the football population base of China, and have some beneficial impact on the future of Chinese football.

That's what some truly patriotic fans would like to see.

Although the impact is still small, everyone still has some expectations and looks forward to the development of Chinese football in a better way.

As for South Korea, there is a pessimism about the loss.

If the East Asian semifinals in the first half of the year lost 0-3 to Gao Hongbo's national football team, you can also comfort yourself with a group of substitutes on the South Korean team, but this Asian Games cannot be explained by this reason at all.

In order to win the gold medal and obtain the exemption from military service, South Korea's U23 is the strongest London Olympics-age player in the country selected this time, plus several overage players who have participated in the World Cup in South Africa, not only the main force, but also everyone is very desperate.

In such a situation, the South Korean team also lost to the Chinese team, which is very uncomfortable.

Even if there is a factor of Cheng Hai, there is only one person in Cheng Hai, and the South Korean team has only scored two goals in attack, which makes many fans feel uncomfortable.

The South Korean U23s who returned to China have been abused and blamed by the South Korean media and fans, claiming that they played badly and even the unbeaten opponent Hua Guoao could win against them, which is simply a shame.

In the end, the South Korean head coach was forced to hold a press conference to apologize to the fans, claiming that they did not play well in the quarterfinals and were eliminated by the Chinese team, which disappointed the expectations of the South Korean fans.

After playing the quarter-finals against South Korea, there are four days left before the next quarter-finals.

Therefore, the Chinese team finally took a day off to let the players have a good rest.

Especially Cheng Hai, who had cramps in the game, made the players and coaches worry for a while.

Fortunately, after the treatment and massage of the physiotherapist, plus his own rest, Cheng Hai was almost no big problem when he got up the next day, and there was no abnormality at all on the third day of recovery training.

However, when he began his daily training session on November 17, Cheng Hai's performance in terms of speed surprised his coach and teammates.

Originally, Cheng Hai's speed was almost the weakest in the team.

However, in this training, while running back and forth, Cheng Hai suddenly soared to the highest speed in the team.

Especially in terms of starting speed, the performance is the most obvious, and no one in the team can compare to Cheng Hai's acceleration.

Cheng Hai's abnormal performance naturally made his teammates and coaches very curious and asked.

As a result, Cheng Hai said again: "I don't know why, it seems that I suddenly ran so fast!" ”

Only the physical trainer in the team hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that your running movements have become more standard, I think your stride and arm throwing movements are more standard than before." It should be that you already have this speed, but you didn't train it before, and now you have inadvertently found the most standard movements, so you can use the speed. ”

Cheng Hai naturally knew that this was a natural change after he used the system plug-in to increase the acceleration to 18 and the speed to 16, but he naturally did not debunk it, but accepted the explanation of the coach's guess, saying:

"Maybe that's why! Anyway, I feel like it's a lot smoother than it used to be. ”

Other teammates said enviously that Cheng Hai's strength was already strong enough, but now he suddenly had such a big surge in speed, and it was estimated that the opponent in the next game would be stunned by Cheng Hai.

However, the coaching staff was still afraid of accidents, so they deliberately asked the team doctor to conduct a rough physical examination of Cheng Hai.

The physical examination proved that Cheng Hai did not have any abnormalities in his body, which proved that Cheng Hai's current speed was indeed something that his body could bear, which made everyone in the team feel relieved.

Everyone is also looking forward to the next game.

Cheng Hai's sudden surge in speed will definitely give the opponent in the quarterfinals a super scare.

Although I don't know if the Huaguo team can reach the finals, the organizing committee of the event will definitely try to arrange the number of matches that the Huaguo team is likely to participate in in the Tianhe Stadium in the setting of the schedule.

In fact, if the Chinese team can advance to the final, all the matches from the group stage to the final will be held at Tianhe Stadium, and each game will be filled with more than 50,000 spectators.

After overcoming the super difficulty of South Korea, facing Uzbekistan U23 in the quarterfinals, the Chinese team was much more relaxed for both the media and the fans.

Not to mention the ranking of the Chinese national team and the Uzbek national team in FIFA, the Chinese national team is higher than Uzbekistan.

Just talking about the performance of this Asian Games, the Chinese team is two wins in three games, ranking second in the group with 6 points, and directly qualified.

Uzbekistan, on the other hand, only won the group stage against Bangladesh in Group E, and lost the other two group games against Huaguo Xiangjiang and the United Arab Emirates U23, scoring only 3 points in the group stage, and finally qualified for the knockout round with one of the four best group runners-up.

In the quarter-finals, Uzbekistan faced Qatar U23 and there was nothing they could do, and the two sides exchanged blanks in 90 minutes.

It wasn't until extra-time that full-back Nagaev scored the only goal in the 108th minute to narrow 1-0 victory over Qatar and reach the quarter-finals.

Its own strength is weaker than the Chinese team, and it fell into a 120-minute overtime battle in the last game, no matter how you look at it, the Chinese team has no reason to lose to Uzbekistan.

This is just the opinion of the outside media and fans, in fact, within the team, the coaches and players have more confidence.

Because Cheng Hai's speed has soared a lot, Cheng Hai not only has the ability to run long distances, but also the ability to run without the ball and grab points has improved a lot.

Under the chain reaction, Cheng Hai's strength has also soared a lot, but it is not clear to the outside world.

Uzbekistan, on the other hand, is bound to become an experiment and a victim of Cheng Hai's sudden surge in speed.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

At 19:00 on the evening of November 19, 2010, in the excited cheers of more than 50,000 fans, when the referee blew the opening whistle, the 2010 Yangcheng Asian Games men's football quarterfinals Huaguo Olympic Team VS Uzbekistan U23 match officially began, Cheng Hai and his teammates teamed up to give the opponent a blitzkrieg.

As the captain, Cheng Hai unfortunately lost the right to pick the edge in the edge picking ceremony of this game, but he was lucky to get the right to tee.

Because he knew that the opponent definitely didn't understand the change in his speed, he discussed it with a few frontcourt players, and was ready to directly give the opponent an opening fast attack, and use his sudden surge in speed to catch the opponent off guard.

So, when the referee blew the opening whistle, Cheng Hai kicked the ball to Wu Xi and ran towards the opponent's half, the Uzbek players thought that Wu Xi would pass the ball all the way back to the backfield, attracting the Uzbek formation to press out and then organize an attack.

Therefore, they did not pay attention to Cheng Hai's running position at all.

Not only Cheng Hai, at the beginning of the game, the two full-backs of the Chinese team also rushed into the Uzbek half and formed a response with Cheng Hai in the middle.

Under the watchful eyes of the Uzbek players, Wu Xi received the ball from Cheng Hai in the middle circle, and faced the forward pressure of the opponent rushing up, but he did not pass back to the backfield, but raised his foot and kicked the ball to Lu Wenjun, who was inserting from the side to the Uzbek half.

Then Wu Xi himself also rushed into the Uzbek half, about seven or eight meters behind Cheng Hai, and formed a four-corner response formation with the forwards on both sides and Cheng Hai.

When Wu Xi passed the ball to Lu Wenjun, who was inserted on the side, the Uzbek players seemed to finally realize something and wanted to stop Cheng Hai.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai's speed has soared at this time, and he crossed the Uzbek midfield line almost in the blink of an eye without the ball and faced the two central defenders.

The two central defenders did not panic, one stepped forward to intercept Cheng Hai, and the other retreated to the penalty area to prevent accidents.

At this moment, Lu Wenjun saw Cheng Hai's running position, and passed the ball diagonally to the front of Cheng Hai's running position outside the arc of the big penalty area.

Lu Wenjun's pass was actually not very good, a little too close to the Uzbek defender Ilmatov.

But Ilmatov's reaction was not as good as Cheng Hai's.

Cheng Hai's full-value off-ball running and point-grabbing ability allowed him to immediately judge the ball according to the rolling line and speed of the ball after Lu Wenjun passed the ball, and if he ran according to the established route, he might not be able to catch it, and he would be caught by the opponent's defender first.

Therefore, Cheng Hai, who preemptively judged the direction of the ball's rolling, did not continue to rush forward in a straight line, but immediately changed to the side and ran a few steps to catch the ball in advance.

Although Ilmatov also reacted immediately, he was one step behind Cheng Hai.

By the time he rushed up, Cheng Hai had already received the ball, slid the ball into the corner of the penalty area, and then jumped up to avoid Ilmatov's outstretched foot, and instantly passed Ilmatov.

Of course, Cheng Hai's ball was not safe, because there was also a full-back and a central defender in the Uzbek penalty area.

As long as Cheng Hai is a little slower, the ball may be gone.

But Cheng Hai's pace is now up, and after he successfully dodged Ilmatov on the jump, he immediately rushed up with an acceleration of 18 points and controlled the ball before full-back Akhmedov.

Akhmedov was a step slower, so he could only cautiously lower his center of gravity, ready to intercept Cheng Hai's shot or breakthrough.

Cheng Hai took a look at Akhmedov's position and the other central defender, goalkeeper and so on in the penalty area, and found that his shot had a high probability of being blocked, so he did not shoot.

Instead, he used Matthews to feint at the moment of controlling the ball, making an illusion of breaking through to the middle of the penalty area.

Cheng Hai's 19-point dribbling and Matthews feints are very skillful when they make feints, and they are very deceptive when they break through, and Akhmedov is not the world's top defender, so he was naturally deceived by Cheng Hai, and his body center of gravity involuntarily moved to the middle.

As a result, in the next moment, Cheng Hai flicked the ball to the baseline defense line and broke through from the outside of Akhmedov.

Although Akhmedov immediately turned around and pulled Cheng Hai to lose his center of gravity and control of the ball, Cheng Hai's full physique played a key role at this time.

Although Akhmedov's pull grabbed Cheng Hai's clothes, he was thrown away by Cheng Hai's strong speed and body impact.

The acceleration of 18 gave Cheng Hai instant explosiveness, allowing him to easily get rid of Akhmedov's block, and dribble to the corner of the small penalty area.

Then, Cheng Hai immediately grabbed a volley in front of the central defender Hormuradov, who was sliding from the side, and pumped the ball out.

Goalkeeper Zhuraev stayed in the near corner, half-crouching, trying to expand the defensive area.

As a result, he didn't pay attention to his crotch.

Cheng Hai's ball flew towards Zhulaev's crotch against the turf, and Zhulayev was so shocked that he immediately closed his legs and wanted to stop the ball.

However, he was too slow.

Cheng Hai's full-value shooting, as well as such a close distance, allowed the ball to pass through the small door between his legs without any suspense and roll into the gate behind him.

At this time, it was only 8 seconds into the game, some fans were still looking for positions, and some fans in front of the TV had just turned on the TV.

On the commentary seat, the CCTV-5 commentator, who was originally reading the starting lists of both sides, instantly stopped reading the starting lists, but let out a long roar and shouted explosively:

"Cheng Hai shoots!"

"The ball went in, it went in, it went ......"

"Oh my God, let me see, just 8 seconds after the game, the national Olympic team used the tee right to launch a successful blitzkrieg, and finally Cheng Hai volleyed through the Uzbekistan goal from a small angle!"

"Without a doubt, this is the fastest goal in the history of the Asian Games!"

"In the opening 8 seconds, Cheng Hai and the National Olympic team teamed up to create the fastest goal in the history of Asian Games football!"

Teacher Zhang, the guest next to him, also nodded excitedly and said:

"Yes, I don't need to look at the information, this is definitely the fastest goal in the history of Asian Games football!"

"Cheng Hai and our Olympic team have made history!"

"In addition, I found that Cheng Hai's speed of running without the ball or breaking through with the ball in this attack has been greatly improved compared with before, which is very obvious, am I wrong?"

The narrator immediately answered: "Teacher Zhang, you read it right, I also found out, but I don't know what's going on." ”

"However, no matter what, Cheng Hai's sudden increase in speed is a great thing for the national Olympic team."

"It is estimated that Uzbekistan was also caught off guard by Cheng Hai's sudden increase in speed, so Cheng Hai easily broke through two people in a row, and then scored with a shot."

The guest nodded and said, "It should be!" ”

The commentator and the guests were right, not to mention the two defenders who were broken through by Cheng Hai, and the Uzbek midfielders who were just crossed by Cheng Hai's off-ball running were all caught off guard by Cheng Hai's speed, and they were easily rushed to the front by Cheng Hai.

Before the game, they carefully watched the video of the Chinese team and studied Cheng Hai as the number one threat.

No one thinks Cheng Hai's speed is a threat, everyone just needs to prevent Cheng Hai's running and breakthrough near the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, now that the game has just started, Cheng Hai gave them a blow with super speed, and some Uzbek players were a little dazed and felt unreal.

"The game must have just begun, right? Why are we falling behind? Some people thought in disbelief.

In the stands, Chinese fans didn't care whether the Uzbek players and fans believed it or not, anyway, they saw Cheng Hai's successful shot and the score on the big screen became 1-0, and they immediately fell into an excited celebration.

Everyone applauded and cheered and talked about it:

"Damn, I've just come in, I haven't found a place yet, and I'm going to score?"

"Cheng Hai is so awesome! It's so cool! ”

"Uzbekistan is not as strong as us, and we conceded a goal in the first 8 seconds, it seems that we have won!"

"Cheng Hai is so fierce today, this should be the fastest goal in the history of the Asian Games, right? I feel like he's running a lot faster than in the previous races. ”

"yes, I feel that way too!"

"It's progressing so fast! Even this kind of technique that relies on the explosive power of the body Cheng Hai can suddenly soar so much, and he doesn't know where Cheng Hai's end point is. ”

"No one knows, but even if the Chinese team never wins the World Cup, I think Cheng Hai should be able to become a world superstar like Shepchenko and Drogba."
