Chapter 195: Advance to the group stage
() 5-0, an undeniable victory.
The domestic media are about to blow up, giving the national football team a considerable evaluation.
Compared with the first game, the big win in the second game is not as simple as the score difference has become larger.
After the national football team took the lead in the first game, he was a little unenterprising, and the old mistakes were made again; But after the break, the second ball was also a two-goal lead, why did it become more and more courageous and win three cities in a row again?
In an interview, Huang Jianxiang said:
"Compared to the first game, there are three very noticeable changes to the lineup sent by Alihan this time. That is to enable Tang Wu, Sun Sun and Shao Jiayi, three foreign internationals. ”
It is precisely the outstanding performance of these three foreign internationals that makes the Chinese team extremely sharp at both offensive and defensive ends. Fluent on offense and solid on defensive. ”
And Tang Wu and Sun Sun not only defend in place, but also contribute their own strength on the offensive end. The second and last goals are typical of 'Tang Wu's counterattack', Tang Wu's long ball is fast and accurate, whether it is a Premier League player, a national Olympic player, or a current national football player, he can successfully complete the counterattack. From this point, it can be seen that Tang Wu's success is not accidental, nor is it the help of Chelsea teammates, but his own real level. ”
'Especially after a two-goal lead, going into the second half. Tang Wu still maintained a forward position, so that the other players had to stand forward. Coupled with Zheng Zhi's many lengths, the two are like catalysts, always motivating the midfielders to move forward, and finally win the big score, which is not so unexpected. ”
Huang Jianxiang's pertinent comments were agreed by a group of fans, and everyone could see the role played by Tang Wu in this game. Although he is the youngest member of the team, the value he shows and the energy he explodes are unmatched by anyone else.
In the post-match interview, Alihan was full of joy and also focused on Tang Wu's play.
"In my opinion, playing to play is the key to winning this game."
"Solid back, not every team player will enjoy this kind of treatment."
"To make the backfield of the national football team an iron wall."
Many domestic industry professionals also nodded that the key to breaking Indonesia is to keep the heart of attacking and winning.
For this reason, there was also an interview with former national team coach Milu. The Yugoslav coach said with regret: "You can see from the performance in the TO Premier League that this is a goalkeeper who is both offensive and defensive. ”
"And in my opinion, the Chinese team's forward midfielders and forwards are not lacking in attacking power, they are just 'dragged' in some specific situations. If they can abandon distractions and attack wholeheartedly, then most of the Chinese opponents will end up similar to Indonesia. ”
"Of course, for the time being, only TO can give this belief to the frontcourt players of the Chinese team. For me, if I had been a little older and had become famous earlier, I might not have brought him to the World Cup. Maybe the Chinese team will still lose, but I don't think it's a problem to get 1 point. ”
"But luckily to be young, he's only 20 years old. A goalkeeper is not a problem to play until he is 40 years old, I think in the next 20 years, the 'Great Wall of China' will be the most solid defense in the world, and it is also the most feared defense! ”
At the end of the report, some media reminded that Indonesia's overall strength is indeed not enough to shake the current Chinese team, and it is even inferior to other teams in the group. The national football team should guard against arrogance and rashness and play every game well. After all, it's just a lifetime now, and there is no guarantee of qualification.
But in any case, such a point difference has created a goal record for the national football team in recent years. Fans look back, it is true that they have not seen the national football team play such a big score in such an important tournament for many years.
In the P selection after the game, Shao Jiayi from Germany in Europe won the P. Two shots and one pass, such a well-deserved result.
But many fans who like Tang Wu are a little unconvinced, and for positional reasons, Tang Wu is basically the most difficult player in the team to reach for goals. Therefore, goals and assists are used as the judging criteria, and some fans still can't accept it.
The young Zhan Jun skillfully solved the fans' troubles: "Judging from the data of this game, Tang Wu only contributed 3 saves, and judging from this number alone, Tang Wu did play 'poorly' in this game." ”
"But the greatest joy of a goalkeeper is not the accolades for too many saves, but the solidity of the defence. A good goalkeeper often has no stats, and a goalkeeper with a lot of stats per game is often not the one who has the last laugh. ”
Zhan Jun's explanation relieved the fans who love Tang Wu, yes, if you stand from a different angle, the way of thinking about the problem and the result are also different. Tang Wu's active performance in this game has proven himself, and he no longer needs data and honor to become the raw materials for himself to shine.
Tang Wu's performance in the first game of the Asian Cup naturally attracted the attention of foreign media.
The Sun believes that the TO Chelsea-style counterattack has been carried to East Asia, to China. If the Chinese team can understand this tactic, then winning the championship of a competition of this level in the Asian Cup is basically certain.
Tang Wu's former coach Lapinli was also found in Spain. The Italian, who had wanted to stay in England, once again played up his nickname of the "tinkerer". Next season he wants to return to La Liga, to his old club Valencia, and to pick up the role of "tinkerer" again.
"There is no doubt about personal strength. What's even more terrifying is that he still has a lot of room for development. ”
'At Chelsea, he's got assists for long balls! As long as he to, he can even kick the ball directly into the opponent's goal! ”
As always, he showed his humour, and after a joke, he sighed, "My biggest regret is that I didn't bring him to La Liga, if he comes to Valencia, I think next season Real Madrid will have to stand aside!" ”
After La's remarks were transmitted back to China, almost all the "Tang martial arts fans" in China went crazy. Countless fans have said that Tang Wu is the player who should sit firmly in the position of the main goalkeeper of the national team. There is no need to rotate and observe, Tang Wu is the best goalkeeper on the planet!
It can be seen that the fans have gone crazy. They finally found a cathartic point and focused all their emotions on Tang Wu.
And Tang Wu, who was in the center of the storm, was very calm, "How to say it, it's just an Asian Cup group stage, and the opponent is not particularly strong, everyone should really look at this victory rationally." ”
"Not to mention that others just take myself as an example, I don't think I played half of my strength in this game. I'm not boasting, but the four teammates in front of me have already helped me out most of the trouble. Actually, to be honest, this game is like playing Lebanon in Chongqing..."
In the other two matches, Indonesia won 2-1 against Qatar in the first round, while Qatar drew 1-1 with Bahrain in the second round. The Chinese team tops the list with one win and one draw, and even if it loses to Qatar in the next game, it has a great chance to qualify, after all, the number of goals and the goal difference are here.
In the final round four days later, Alihan rotated his main players and faced the last opponent in the group stage with the main goal of maintaining his form.
With Xu Yunlong's goal, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals with the first place in the group.
In the subsequent knockout draw, the Chinese team avoided the strong Iran and drew the same "Iranian" Iraq.
In the remaining three matchups, old rivals South Korea and Iran met strongly, Uzbekistan drew Bahrain, who were second in Group A, and Japan won fourth with Jordan.
A few days later, on July 30, the Asian Cup quarterfinals were ignited at the still full Workers' Stadium.
