Chapter 406: Sister Don't Cry

On August 10, outside Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, there was another wave of red.

The Community Shield, as a pre-season opener, should take place at Wembley. But now Wembley is rebuilding, so the teams are back at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Tang Wu is already familiar with this place, the League Cup and the FA Cup are all won here. All Liverpudlians believe it will not be difficult for the team to win another title here, even against last season's Premier League champions.

What about the Premier League champions?

We're still the Triple Crown!

Don't forget, we were knocked out of the Carabao Cup and the Champions League. And you drew and lost one of the two league games last season, so you should be the one who should be alarmed!

This is the origin of the confidence of all KOPs.

At half past 21 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang sat in the studio with happy faces.

They arrived not because of the Community Shield battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, but because of the news from Daegu, South Korea, that China had won 2-0 against North Korea in the afternoon.

North Korea is currently ranked 91st in the world, and even if the Chinese team wins by two goals, they have nothing to be excited about. But if you add the previous two games, then this victory is very significant.

This cup is the second edition of the East Asian semi-finals, and if you count the predecessor Dynas Cup, it is the sixth.

The first Dynas Cup East Asian semi-finals were held in Beijing in July 1990, when China, South Korea, Japan, and North Korea participated in the competition, and China was led by Gao Fengwen and finally won the runner-up.

In this East Asian semi-finals, China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are still participating.

In the first match with the host South Korean team, the national football team can be said to have completely fought bloody.

Soon after the opening, Gao Plane was "accepted on behalf of others" due to Li Datou's malicious foul, and the national football team scored a goal in the second half by Sun Xiang in the passive situation of playing less and more, and South Korea then equalized the score.

In the closing stage, there were sudden waves on the field, and in the 82nd minute, Cao Yang pulled a foul in the penalty area and gave the opponent a red dot package.

In the face of Li Dongguo's penalty, goalkeeper Li Leilei miraculously saved the ball.

But at this time, Li Datou obviously did not control his temper, and before Li Leilei kicked the ball out, the referee of the front line received the second yellow card of the game. Two yellows turned into one red, and he was also sent off.

The eight-man national football team maintained a score of 1-1 in the last ten minutes of the game and successfully forced a draw with the host South Korean team.

Although after the game, the Korean media said that Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, Ahn Jung-hwan and other European players and Yoo Sang-tie, Kim Nam-il and other main cores did not participate; But Zhu Guanghu, the head coach of the Chinese coaching staff, said domineeringly into the microphone: "Our Champions League champion Tang Wu has not come back to compete!"

Just this sentence choked the South Korean media and shut their mouths.

In the second game against Japan, Li Datou was suspended and withdrew from this tournament, Cao Yang was suspended for this game, and his position was replaced by Zhang Yonghai and Wang Liang respectively; Gao Aircraft started the game after being cleared, while Li Jinyu and Xu Yunlong replaced Xie Hui and Chen Tao, who started the Sino-Korean battle.

Although the Japanese team lost to North Korea in the first game, Zico was still full of confidence, and announced the starting lineup for this game a day in advance - all eight main players rested, and the typical full bench lineup was discharged.

In the 37th minute, the Chinese team scored the first goal!

Xu Yunlong and Wang Liang instigated an offensive on the right side, Zhao Xuri got rid of the defense with the ball and crossed, Li Jinyu swooped down near the line of the small penalty area and sent the ball into the bottom corner of the goal, and the Chinese team led 1-0.

After withstanding the opponent's counterattack, the Chinese team made another effort in the 43rd minute. Sun Xiang made a beautiful backheel pass on the left side to force the Japanese player Wolf to be fouled, and Wang Liang stood in front of the free kick to take the penalty.

In China, Wang Liang and Xu Liang are both known as "China's Beckham", but Xu Liang's nickname is "Tsuikeham", and Wang Liang's nickname is "Beckham".

Wang Liang's full moon scimitar accurately delivered the ball to the front point, Zhang Yonghai turned his head with his back to the goal, and Masaki couldn't save, and the Chinese team took a 2-0 lead!

However, the Japanese team made a late effort, and Yuichi Komano and Tatsu Tanaka also scored goals one after another, and the final score of the two teams was set at 2-2.

In the third round of the contest with the North Korean team this afternoon, Gao Fei and Xie Hui cooperated to win a penalty in the 13th minute, and Li Yan made it overnight to help the Chinese team take a 1-0 lead.

In the 67th minute, Xie Hui relied on his personal ability to score after receiving a pass from Gao Aircraft, and finally the Chinese team defeated North Korea 2-0.

Due to the 0-1 loss of the South Korean team to Japan, the national football team, which was "not on the main team", won the first East Asian semi-finals with a record of one win and two draws by virtue of its own ability.

has always been the "main force" of the national football team, but it still can't beat the opponent of half the main force; This national football team also won a championship without Tang Wu, Sun Taiyang, Li Tie, Shao Jiayi and others, and the Chinese coaching staff was so excited that they almost shouted.

However, due to the fact that the men's and women's football matches of this tournament were played in South Korea at the same time, the East Asian Football Confederation (EAFF) added a new award for the mixed champion of men's and women's football.

According to the specific setting of the men's and women's comprehensive championship awards, according to the system of adding 3 points and 1 point respectively for the win and draw of this event, the points of the men's and women's teams of each country will be accumulated separately, and the country with the highest score will be the winner, and a bonus of 100,000 US dollars will be awarded.

If the two countries have the same number of points, then the goal difference, the number of goals scored and the win-loss relationship are compared in turn. If it is still not possible to divide the order according to the above method, the prize money shall be divided equally between the two countries.

In the end, North Korea won the award by 10 points, beating the host South Korea, and enjoyed an exclusive prize of 100,000 US dollars. Due to the fact that the women's football team was at the bottom with 1 point in three games, China's men's and women's mixed football awards only ranked third.

After the game, these sonorous roses were silent, and the women's football player Han Rui sobbed when facing the camera: "We have tried our best, but we still drag the men's football team back... I'm sorry, but I apologize..."

The east corner is gained, and the mulberry elm is lost. Because of this, the tail of the catharsis and deafness was not completely cocked.

"Brother Huang, let's analyze tonight's game!"

Before every Liverpool game, Zhan Jun likes to listen to Huang Jianxiang analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

But Huang Jianxiang knew that Zhan Jun just wanted to hear good things about Liverpool. It just so happens that I also like to play the "official tone" in this regard.

Just as Huang was about to do a good analysis of the line-ups for Chelsea and Liverpool tonight, a surprising image suddenly appeared on the screen.

When the camera swept over the players holding the caddie one by one, Tang Wu suddenly lifted his jersey, revealing a few big characters.

"Sister, don't cry, brother will win you a championship tonight!"
