On the evening of August 7, Beijing Gongti Stadium.

After a short closing performance, the Asian Cup final officially kicked off.

More than 60,000 fans gathered at the scene, the government also dispatched more than 30 ministerial-level dignitaries to the scene, and there were countless domestic and foreign media and political and business celebrities, and the number of live viewers was nearly one billion, and the Middle East was also the first time to broadcast the Asian Cup.

The weight of this final can be seen.

The Chinese team once again lined up the 442 lineup, the goalkeeper is Liu Yunfei, the back line is Sun Xiang, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Yaokun and Wei Xin, the central defender Li Weifeng is injured and absent, the midfield is Yan Song, Zhao Junzhe, Shao Jiayi and Li Ming from left to right, and the double forwards are Li Jinyu and Yang Yang.

Hao Dong suffered a head injury in the game against Iran, and after going to the hospital for stitches, although he has basically recovered and can participate in the game, Alihan still put him on the bench in this game, and instead arranged Yang Yang, who is in good form, to start.

With the whistle of Kuwaiti referee Alpha Hari, the much-anticipated Asian Cup final officially kicked off.

Japan were the first to attack, and less than ten seconds into the opening period, they had the first wave down the left, but Weissing was solid enough to hit the ball and bounce out of bounds to defuse a crisis.

But then the Japanese team continued to go on the offensive.

In the third minute, after a diagonal pass from the middle, Japanese striker Keiji Tamada shook off the defender to form a single knife, but the linesman quickly raised the flag to signal offside, and Keiji Tamada fell into the offside trap of the Chinese team's backline.

After surviving the opening attack of the Japanese team, the Chinese team quickly played a threatening counterattack.

When Shao Jiayi got the ball in the midfield, Yang Yang quickly ran out of the space, but Shao Jiayi's intention to plug the ball was too obvious, and the strength was not enough, and he was intercepted by the opponent's defender in advance and failed to send the ball behind him.

When Yang Yang walked back, he didn't forget to applaud Shao Jiayi, but he was secretly analyzing the game situation after the opening in his heart.

The Japanese team's tactical formation looks like 442, but in fact it is 451, with five players arranged in the midfield, and the intention is very obvious, which is to cut off the connection between the Chinese team's forward line and the midfield.

As soon as Shao Jia got the ball just now, as soon as he ran, the Japanese defenders immediately formed an interception.

If a striker doesn't get passing support up front, it's a decoration.

Yang Yang can feel that Japan's defensive pressure is not as great as that of the Iranian team.

Quite simply, Iran defensively tighter and their players are more physical, but unlike Japan, Japan are better at possession, not as tight as Iran defensively, and they clearly prefer to press in midfield this game.

It was as if this time, the Chinese team won a throw-in on the left side, and the Japanese team pushed the entire pressing line into the 30-meter area of the Chinese team.

When Sun Xiang threw the ball to Zhao Junzhe, the Japanese team pressed all the way, forcing Sun Xiang to have to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Liu Yunfei.

Liu Yunfei passed to Zheng Zhi again, and at this time, Japan directly chased the Chinese team's penalty area.

After the midfield is pressed, the back line will naturally not drag too far back, otherwise the three lines will be disjointed.

Yang Yang clearly captured this characteristic of Japan through God's vision and his own observation, and at the same time clearly felt the difficulty of playing the ball in the midfield.

Zheng Zhi and Zhang Yaokun fell to their feet, were forced by the Japanese team, and were forced to pass back to the goalkeeper, Liu Yunfei picked a pass to find Sun Xiang on the left side, but there was still no chance, so he could only pass back to Zheng Zhi.

At this time, only two central defenders were left in the Japanese team's backline to defend Yang Yang and Li Jinyu.

Obviously, in their opinion, the ball is in the front and the back is safe.

But it depends on who it's for!

Yang Yang was sure in his heart, and suddenly retreated, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Zheng Zhi has long been paying attention to the movement in the midfield, as soon as Yang Yang ran, he immediately understood, dribbled the ball to the right, deducted a Japanese team's pressing player, and then made a low flat ball with his right foot, passed the ball thirty or forty meters long, and sent it directly to the opponent's thirty meters area to find Yang Yang.

Miyamoto Hengjing, the central defender of the Japanese team, also followed behind Yang Yang for the first time, he obviously knew very well that it was impossible for him to stop Yang Yang from stopping the ball, but he would definitely not let Yang Yang turn around, as long as Yang Yang stopped the ball, he immediately pasted it.

Yang Yang also knew the opponent's intentions in his heart, but he did not stop the ball directly, but faced the incoming ball and gently pushed the outside of his right foot.

When the fast and urgent half-high ball was delivered to Yang Yang's feet, he lightly stopped to the unguarded area on his right side, although he rolled out a few meters away, but this kick of stopping the ball still surprised Miyamoto Hengjing.

The Japanese captain pounced forward for the first time, but Yang Yang was faster than him, grabbed the position with his body, blocked Miyamoto Hengjing, and saw an opportunity with his left foot, and gently rubbed out a ball behind him.

……

"The Chinese team quickly launched a counterattack in the backfield, and the long pass directly found Yang Yang."

Yang Yang stopped the ball to his right side, turned around to catch up, and passed diagonally with his left foot behind him......"

"Li Jinyu is not offside, the chances of the Chinese team are ......"

"The ball is in!!!!"

"In the sixth minute, only six minutes into the opening game, the Chinese team took the lead in breaking the goal of the Japanese team!"

"Goal from Lee Kim Woo!"

"He didn't waste the great opportunity created by Yang Yang, formed a single knife in the offside position, and calmly seized the opportunity."

"One to zero!"

……

The entire stadium boiled in an instant.

More than 60,000 fans shouted hoarsely, reaching every corner of the stadium.

Li Jinyu excitedly rushed out of the court, knelt down on one knee at the corner flagpole, and made a machine-gun fire.

That's how he celebrates his goal.

Yang Yang was the first to rush up to celebrate with him, Li Jinyu also hugged Yang Yang hard, and then both of them were surrounded by teammates who rushed out frantically.

……

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Zheng Zhi's long pass is very well placed, Yang Yang's stop is even more ingenious, and what is even more amazing is that after Yang Yang stopped the ball to the right side, he blocked Miyamoto Hengjing with his body, and then passed this wonderful pass with his left foot."

"The Japanese have apparently forgotten that although Yang Yang is a right-footed general, his right foot is very sharp, but his left foot is also unambiguous."

"He is very good on both sides of his foot, and he has performed very well in the previous Toulon Cup and in this Asian Cup."

"One to zero, the Chinese team took the lead."

"Alihan was also very excited on the sidelines, and he pushed Yang Yang to the starting forward position in this game, which is quite a successful decision from the current point of view."

"The Japanese team was in a bad position from the start."

…………

…………

After a frantic celebration, the Chinese team returned to the field amid the cheers of the fans.

The game resumes.

After conceding the goal, the Japanese team began to play a little anxiously, and there were several rough fouls when pressing the Chinese players, including Takayuki Suzuki who also received the first yellow card of the game.

Yang Yang got a chance to shoot from a distance in the sixteenth minute, from the cooperation of Li Ming and Wei Xin on the right side, planned an offensive, and crossed to the front of the penalty area to Yang Yang, Yang Yang felt very good, and after stopping, he hit directly with his feet.

But this shot hit the opposing defender directly.

Yang Yang is also quite helpless about this, especially after the Japanese team has significantly strengthened his close defense, and he can get a lot less space.

Subsequently, the Japanese team continued to launch an offensive, and the original impatient mood gradually became calmer.

In terms of dealing with his own emotions, Yang Yang feels that the Japanese team is still more experienced than the Chinese team.

After taking a one-goal lead, the Chinese team began to play more securely.

The team began to play defensive counter-attacking tactics, retreating to their own half, waiting for the Japanese team's attack, playing to their strengths, and all the players were ready to play the slightest bit and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

In this situation, Japan had the opportunity to possess the ball, but it was difficult to create a favorable threat.

On the contrary, the Chinese team, while stabilizing the defense, actively played Yang Yang's quick counterattack in the front court.

First, in the 26th minute, a quick counterattack encountered a foul by the Japanese team and won a free kick opportunity in the front, and then received a long pass from the back on the right side, unloaded the ball, forced a breakthrough on the side one-on-one, dribbled the ball back to the penalty area on the bottom line, and passed to Shao Jiayi who was inserted in the back row.

But unfortunately, Shao Jiayi couldn't hold the ball down and shot high.

And the most worth mentioning is that in the 34th minute, the Chinese team counterattacked on the left, Yan Song crossed to the penalty area, and Yang Yang grabbed the first drop point and was about to get up, but was pushed to the ground by the Japanese defenders.

It was a glaring foul, but the Kuwaiti referee ignored it.

Yang Yang got up from the ground and walked towards the nearby referee, constantly protesting that he had grabbed the position, but was pushed to the ground by the opponent, but the referee repeatedly said that his judgment was not wrong.

Encountering such a referee, Yang Yang was also very speechless, and he couldn't be too excited, so he could only walk away indignantly.

Subsequently, the Chinese team soon got another chance, Shao Jiayi got rid of the defender in the middle, and directly volleyed, but was saved alive by the Japanese goalkeeper Kawaguchi Neng.

After scoring the lead, although the Chinese team did not have possession of the ball, it basically controlled the situation on the field, and the Japanese team's attack was difficult to penetrate the Chinese team's defense, but the Chinese team's counterattack threatened the Japanese team's goal again and again.

Whether it is the players on the field, the fans on the sidelines, or even the audience in front of the TV, they can easily feel the advantages of the Chinese team, and the team is now more and more confident the more they play.

Everyone believes that it will be a matter of time before they continue to play in this situation and break the Japanese goal again.

At halftime, head coach Alihan also repeatedly praised the performance of the players, and at the same time called on the players to continue to play in the first half, and continue to play according to this rhythm and countermeasures.

After the second half of the rematch, the two sides still continued the situation in the first half, the only change is that Alihan reminded the players not to retreat too far back at halftime, to try to press the defense forward, it is best to advance to the periphery of the 30-meter area, which will be more beneficial to the counterattack.

1-0, which is never a safe score.

Both the players and the coaches are still thinking about scoring goals and sending Japan back to their hometowns.

But in the 55th minute of the second half......
