On August 3, it was still the Beijing Workers' Stadium.

Asian Cup semifinals, China vs Iran.

The pivotal battle drew more than 60,000 fans to the scene. The fan stands were crowded with firecrackers. Many fans crowded into the aisles just to catch a glimpse of the players.

Even if it is the local Asian Cup, there are still many fans who look down on the national football team. But when the team really came to this point, the fans could no longer suppress their excitement and went out of their homes to cheer for the Chinese team.

Especially at the pre-Games entrance ceremony, everyone stood up and sang the national anthem. Whether in the stadium or sitting in front of the TV, the fans who watched this scene couldn't help but be thrilled and enthusiastic.

Not surprisingly, Tang Wu appeared in the starting lineup again.

The four defenders are No. 3 Sun Xiang, No. 5 Zheng Zhi, No. 14 Li Datou, and No. 4 Zhang Yaokun.

The central defenders are No. 7 Sun Taiyang, No. 6 Shao Jiayi, No. 15 Zhao Junzhe, and No. 21 Li Ming.

The two forwards are still No. 29 Li Jinyu and No. 9 Hao Cannon.

They have all entered the semi-finals, and the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the whole country have reached their peak. In this case, even Alihan has to take advantage of the trend and shout the slogan of winning the championship.

No one will pour cold water at this juncture, and even the most pessimistic media will not dare to publish "demagogic" reports at this time.

"We are the strongest!" Captain Li shouted.

In the stadium, eleven players formed a circle and hugged each other.

"We are the strongest!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Beat Iran and win the championship!"

"Beat Iran and win the championship!"

"Come on!"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, !!"

Taking advantage of the momentum of the home field, the Chinese team rushed to the front with the ball in only two minutes of the opening game.

Hao Dacang received a delicate pass from Zhao Junzhe on the left side and hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area. Shao Jia failed to reach the top of the header and was cleared by the opponent's defender.

But the ball didn't go too far, and Li Datou stopped the ball and split the ball again.

After Li Ming got the ball, he shook his kick and cut directly to the middle

In front of the penalty area, Li Ming did not continue to move forward, but directly volleyed.

With a "buzz", the low-flying ball grazed the post and rushed out of bounds, and the fans broke out into a sigh.

"Damn, this ball is almost there!"

"Yes, yes, if this goal is scored, it is estimated that it will be like playing Iraq, maybe 3-0 again!"

"Didn't you look at the Iranian goalkeeper and didn't react? If it hits the door frame, it's in..."

The fans regret it, and the players regret it.

Watching the video of Iran vs South Korea last time, almost all three of South Korea's goals were scored at this point. If the Chinese team can make good use of the "loophole" of the Iranian team, then it will not be a problem to win the game in the end.

In the 8th minute, Kalimi instigated an attack in the middle, and Madavecchia received the ball and shot directly at the goal. In the face of this low shot with little power, Tang Wu knelt on one knee and held the ball firmly in his arms. Seeing Tang Wu holding the ball tightly, the 35-year-old veteran Ali, who rushed up and planned to pick up the leak, couldn't help but regretfully retract his feet.

Although the fans of the Gongti stadium made a lot of noise for the home team, it was a little too small for the Iranian players who played in the 100,000-capacity home stadium. In addition, Iran is a strong team in Asia, so Iran quickly entered the state after the opening, and the Chinese team attacked and defended each other.

The Iranian team also apparently studied a few games of the Chinese team before the game, and Shao Jiayi was defined as the offensive and defensive center of the Chinese team. So at the beginning, two Iranian players surrounded Shao Jiayi and restricted his play.

The right side of the Chinese team has Sun Sun to hold on, and the Iranian team is also single, and also uses its right side as a breakthrough to attack the Chinese team. In the last game against South Korea, the Iranian team also frequently used the right corridor to attack the city, so at this point, the Iranian players are still familiar with the road.

Sticking to the left side is Tang Wu's old teammate Sun Xiang, because he is in front of the veteran Li Ming, so Sun Xiang has to help his predecessors to make up for the defense in many cases, and his thin body is also being used by the Iranian team to make a big fuss.

In the 23rd minute, it was another surprise attack from the left. The enemy used his body to force Sun Xiang, who was following him, and still dribbled the ball down after breaking into the penalty area.

"Stuck position, give me a dead stuck position!" Tang Wu yelled.

At this distance, even if the other party directly kicks the door, it can be done.

But Madavecchia didn't seem to want to show off his footwork in front of Tang Wu, he knew that this seemingly weak young man could exude a steely strength all over his body.

In front of Zheng Zhi, who was forcing the defense, the Iranian striker continued to go to the bottom, and it seemed that he wanted to reverse the triangle to return the pass.

Tang Wu naturally understood the other party's intentions, and the left hand holding the post was slowly straightened, and the steps under his feet moved gently, and he was already more than a meter away from the goal.

Seeing the near angle that was "released" by Tang Wu, Madavecchia suddenly hesitated.

"Do you want to kick it?" Once this thought comes to mind, it can never be dispelled.

In this case, if you hit a near corner, you might catch Tang Wu off guard - after all, Tang Wu is moving outward, and his center of gravity is on the other side.

And looking at Tang Wu's stance and height, if he hits a close-corner high ball, Tang Wu doesn't seem to even have the last trace of resistance. The premise of scoring a goal is only whether you have such footwork.

In the midst of the hesitation, the ball was already rolling out of the bottom line. Madavecchia gritted his teeth and pushed the ball towards the near corner.

The game has just begun, and the Iranian team still has time to test the depth of this Champions League semi-final goalkeeper.

Seeing that the Iranian striker changed his original intention, Tang Wu snorted in his heart, but did not make any expression on his face.

The Chinese goalkeeper's outward-moving body quickly fell to the ground in 0.3 seconds. Tang Wu's left and right feet hooked the near post at the first time, blocking all the goal routes.

The rapidly rolling ball did not pop far after hitting Tang Wu's calf, and Tang Wu's second reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately pounced forward and hugged the ball.

Whether it was Madavecchia or the two Iranian players who were outflanked in the middle, there was a hint of helplessness on their faces when they saw such a result.

They gave each other thumbs up to indicate that it was a good ball. In that situation, if it were a different situation, they might try to kick it too.

There is no way, Tang Wu's "bait" is too tempting, even if he knows that it is a trap, the opponent will involuntarily want to try his luck.

"How?" Ali. Daye leaned in front of his teammates, wanting to share his experience.

"It's troublesome!" Madavecchia shook his head, "He's a tough goalkeeper. ”

"What's the problem?" Ali asked, frowning. He had never heard his teammates say that about a young Chinese player.

"He deliberately leaked that gap to me, but he was 100 per cent ready to defend." "But I also kept my back hand because I had a lot of power, and even if he blocked it, I still had a chance to make up the shot, and no matter how bad it was, I would get a corner..."

"But the ball was held by him!" Ali spoke for his teammates.

"That's right, that's where I wonder." Madavecchia shook his head and said, "He's not a goalkeeper with developed limbs, he's learned to control his body well, down to every inch of muscle!" ”

"Oh! That's not good news! After hearing this, Ali couldn't help but look back at Tang Wu who got up from the ground, "Maybe it's because he's still young, he's still a..."

"No, he's not a kid anymore!" Madavecchia denied, "And he's a man, an adult male who's up to 1.9 meters tall!" I bet he will be Iran's biggest opponent for the next dozen years. ”

"Okay, I got it." Ali looked at the ball that was thrown to the side, and as he ran back, he asked, "By the way, why didn't you try to hit the air at that time?"

"Unless you hit a dead end!" Madavecchia had already raised his arms and ran forward, leaving a message, "Otherwise, even if it's a high-altitude ball, I think he'll have a way to hold it." ”
