The Asian Games men's football 1/8 finals are all over, and the next round of matches is born.

The full matchups of the 1/4 finals are:

Uzbekistan vs South Korea

Vietnam VS Syria

China VS Japan

UAE VS North Korea

In addition to the Chinese team's victory over Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, who were defeated in the same group in the group stage, also entered the quarterfinals, and the UAE still beat the "head snake" - the host Indonesia drew 2-2 with the UAE in regular time, and lost 3-4 in the penalty shootout and unfortunately went out.

It would be ironic if the Chinese team went out first, and the two opponents who were beaten out of temper in the group stage had the last laugh......

Against Japan, Lu Zhuhu feels that there is nothing bad about resting, they are a group of children around 20, and it is easy to fall into the reputation of bullying the small, after all, Japanese players of the same age have been abused by him before, and there is no need to find a sense of superiority in the Asian Games.

On the 25th, Lu Zhuhu rested for half a day and went to greet a group of his friends.

Du Cheng resumed his 9-to-5 job, Ning Shuangxiao wanted to challenge the qualifiers of this year's US Open, and the Xi'er sisters were also busy, causing Lu Zhuhu to be lonely and "lonely", but fortunately, now someone is coming to accompany him.

When a "fast bus" full of people stopped in front of Lu Zhuhu and saw a group of familiar faces walking down, Lu Zhuhu greeted him with a smile.

Back in Russia, at the "Last Supper", Li Huitang and his teammates announced the decision they had been thinking about for a long time:

Give up the opportunity to "graduate and leave the camp" as the champion of this concentration camp, and stay in the camp to fight for another year.

As a postponement, the 2002 Chinese men's football team, which won the league runner-up, can return to their original time and space, play match-fixing, go to prison, and engage in second or third marriage.

In his opinion, no matter how advanced and perfect the facilities and equipment in the concentration camp are, they are still a "cage" that restricts personal freedom, and it is no different from labor reform.

Is it like the old man in Shawshank's redemption who committed suicide after being released from prison because he was not accustomed to life in the outside world, and "going to prison" has become a way of life?

It may not be the case if you say "stay for a year", because you can't guarantee that you will win the championship the next year! There were also a lot of national teams in the camps that had quite good foundations, although often they didn't have much togetherness.

"Po Yu, you can rest assured, we have all thought about it, not on a whim." Captain Li explained: "As you said, we will go back to the Republic of China for 25 years, and what we are about to face is a full-scale war with Japan, and then the whole world is at war. The brothers have been playing football together for a long time, and they really can't bear to go around the world, and even never see each other again......"

"Just stay in the camp, don't worry about fighting, don't worry about raising your family, and you won't even get older, and you're not afraid that you won't be able to play when you're old - just play football together! How merry! I never worry about not having a strong opponent, I don't worry about not having a channel to improve myself, the books I want, the games I want to watch, I can find them at any time, for us 'ball idiots', rough people who don't know what to do when they don't play football, life in heaven is just like that! ”

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

Listening to them, they were all sincere, and Lu Zhuhu couldn't persuade them, so he could only express his support. Uncle Zhao, the gatekeeper of the concentration camp, also welcomed this, and in the eyes of the old man, these people are much more interesting than the many "authentic national players" in the camp who play big names and can only rule authoritarianly.

For Lu Zhuhu, what is a little selfish is that if he encounters difficulties in the league and cup competitions in the future, he can go to the concentration camp to find these old brothers to help.

Because of the "meritorious service" of playing for the country, during the end of the league, the old guys got a few days off for camping activities, and the "tourist destination" they chose was not only to see the increasingly prosperous home country, but also to see the old places in Southeast Asia that had been active, Surabaya, Medan, Sumatra...... Of course, Jakarta is no exception.

Lu Zhuhu chose to participate in the Asian Games, but he didn't have the idea of revisiting the old place with his old teammates - or paid travel, ha!

Of course, when they came over today, Lu Zhuhu also had an explanation, doing hairstyles, preparing clothes, and not looking too out of place in the current era, like an old antique.

It's just that when Lu Zhuhu saw their outfits today, he still couldn't help laughing: "Why did you come out like this!" It's like—it's like—"

It's as if they were surrounded by Surabaya students when they challenged Surabaya Middle School, and they almost got into a fight, and finally put on the flowery local national costumes......

Lu Zhuhu would rather die than wear it at the beginning......

Now, each of them is dressed as a tropical standard, slippers, large flower pants, flower shirts, and a gust of wind that seems to smell of coconut...... It looks more laid-back and welcoming than the locals in Jakarta! After all, as a modern big city, Jakarta is still home to a lot of white-collar workers in suits and leathers.

"Ahem, Xianyuan said that it was good to wear it like this...... And we have come all the way, and no one seems to have cast a strange eye on us......" Zhou Xianyan said.

As a native of Indonesia, Zhang Xianyuan said: "Batavia has changed so much now that even a native of me can't recognize it!" ”

Li Huitang and Cao Guicheng, who used to play for the Jakarta team "Batavia Qunli", have also been looking around, discussing what is different from their memory. In the end, everyone agrees that when I took a car in Batavia, whether it was a minibus or a train, it was so hot that it suffocated people every time, and now it is equipped with air conditioning, which is simply not better-

That's the biggest difference from the past.

"Po Lu, you said that you would take us to play well when we came out, I don't know what the itinerary is?"

Lu Zhuhu smiled: "Eating, drinking, and having fun are indispensable - although I still have tasks to do now, I can't do it together." In the past, everyone played football, but now we don't need to play, just watch the younger generation perform. It's a coincidence – the first game you can see is a kick – Japan. ”

……

For the Japanese team, Li Huitang's "feelings" were much deeper, after all, there were only a few opponents in Asia at that time, not to mention the complicated political and military relations between the two countries at that time. In their international careers, and even many in their lifetimes, they have not experienced a single defeat against Japan. Now the Japanese team has become the nemesis of the Chinese team, which is confusing and regrettable.

What stimulated them a lot was that the Japanese team could compete with the world's top giants like Belgium during the World Cup, while the Chinese team was eliminated in the group stage without even their old guys.

Is it that the Chinese are destined to be inherently inferior to the Japanese? - Don't be surprised, people of their time easily linked irrelevant things to the level of their home and nation.

Expressing dissatisfaction, they asked to compete with the current Japanese national team, "the heroes see the same" is that many other teams in the concentration camp also have the idea of competing with the current "strongest Japanese team in history", Ning Xiaolongjun in line with the concept of watching the excitement is not a big deal, and also vigorously contributed to this matter. So one night after the Japanese team was eliminated by the Brazilian team, Guo Beijun and Ning Xiaolong joined hands to kidnap the entire Japanese team and send them to a concentration camp and forced them to compete against the Chinese teams.

Well, it sounds a lot like what the Japanese did to China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression - they also forced a team formed by Chinese workers to "slander" the national team and play the Japanese national team, but the Japanese national team still couldn't play ......

That's ......

It's embarrassing......

In the end, the Japanese national team rotated in the concentration camp and participated in eight warm-up matches one after another, symbolizing the eight years of the all-out war of resistance, with one game a year. In the end, the Japanese team only achieved a dismal result of 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, and was tossed by a group of old monsters. The previous national football teams that were caught in the concentration camp also suddenly found that squatting in this place for a long time would really increase their skills, and even winning the current heyday of the Japanese team is not a problem, and they are complacent.

In the hand-to-hand, the 04 national team was pitted by the Japanese team and Kuwaiti referee Saeed Kamil in the Asian Cup final, and he hated it so much that he poured his anger on the current Japanese guy, a clean 4-1, and he played without temper.

In 02, the national team tried their best and won 2-1, while Li Huitang continued their style of playing with wide open and closed, winning 6-4 against Biao.

What's more strange is that instead the 36 national team sent a substitute lineup, that is, the second team, and when they played the game, they achieved a 5-0 result - the most beautiful of all eight games. It's not surprising that Zhang Xianyuan went crazy as soon as he met the Japanese team, and hat tricks and big four happiness were routine operations......

As for the two games that were lost......

Unfortunately, there is one game that is the current national team, because the semi-finals and finals are basically all Chinese have been replaced, and Wu Lei has nothing to do in the concentration camp, so they were pulled to compete with the Japanese team this year, after all, Japan and South Korea are generally not the main force in the East Asian Cup, and in the Asian competition, the Chinese team has been eliminated before meeting the Japanese team, so it is really difficult to have a chance to confront it head-on.

But unfortunately, the team that also participated in the World Cup, the current national team without Lu Zhuhu is not the opponent of the Japanese team at all, just like their predecessors who have not experienced the special training of the concentration camp......

Well, boys, don't worry, don't be in a hurry, don't be two years, you're going to be dragged to the concentration camp for special training......

As for which other team also lost to Japan, it was the "worst" national team in your mind. And the only draw was the national team coached by Zhu, because the national team coached by Zhu is usually invincible in the sense of the word......

After the trip to the concentration camp, the Japanese national team, which felt hollowed out of its body but erased the memory of its tragic experience, returned to the real world, and everyone was depressed, unable to feel the joy of upsetting Belgium, and was depressed when they returned home. This was captured by the Chinese media, who praised the Japanese players for their lofty goals and never satisfied.

If Lu Zhuhu and Tomoji knew that the stunner against Belgium had caused so much suffering to himself and his teammates, he would definitely regret it quite a bit......

On August 27, in the Asian Games men's football 1/4 finals, the Japanese U-21 national team faced the Chinese U-23 national team. In this game, Lu Zhuhu and his old teammates sat in the stands of the game together, talking and laughing, watching the juniors continue their "anti-Japanese cause".

After ups and downs, Lu Zhuhu's little brothers have been greatly exercised physically and mentally, although they have lost Zhang Yuning, a cadre and the help of the eldest brother Lu Zhuhu, but after all, there are still advantages in terms of height and age, and their fighting spirit is also quite affirmative.

In the 11th minute of the opening game, Tang Shi's long-range shot was blocked, and Wei Shihao shot again. In the 24th minute, Yao Junsheng crossed from the right, and Wei Shihao jumped up and slid past the goal with a header. The first 30 minutes of the game were not shocking, and in comparison, the Chinese team got more offensive opportunities. However, in the 31st minute, Yuto Iwasaki broke the deadlock for Japan with a wonderful long-range shot and took a 1-0 lead!

It can be seen that these youngsters are a little behind the Chinese team that may change their age in terms of physical fitness and confrontation, but the average footwork is indeed better.

This time, the Chinese team was not too flustered, and responded a few minutes later - in the 38th minute, the Chinese team quickly sent a free kick in front, an inverted triangle cross near the bottom line on the left side, and Wei Shihao swept away a kick near the penalty spot, although the Japanese goalkeeper Kojima Kensuke pounced on the ball, but the ball bounced off the ground and hit the body of Yugo Tachita but drilled into the dead corner, and the Chinese team was lucky to equalize with the Japanese defender's own gift and achieved a 1-1 draw.

At the end of the half, Sugioka Daiki crossed from the left, but Chen Wei pounced the ball in front of the opponent's flag bearer Rei, but the flag-bearer Reio was unguarded and shot wide, and the Japanese team missed the opportunity to lead again. This time, the three goalkeepers of the 36 team in the stands all criticized the little goalkeeper who is now guarding the goal for the Chinese team, Bao Jiaping said that the little guy reacted slowly, Huang Jiliang said that he chose a bad position, and Zhou Xianyan said that from the half-time game, the young player has poor mental attributes, and there is no such decisive temper, I am afraid that it is embarrassing.

Lu Zhuhu could only be speechless, after all, he can compare his spiritual attributes with your brother Zhou Xianyan, and the more he pounces, the more crazy he becomes, there are not many people in China at all......

In the first half, there was some mutual temptation, and after the start of the second half, the Chinese team opened up firepower, first in the 49th minute, Wei Shihao shook off the defense at the edge of the penalty area, and the final long-range shot directly hit the goal of Kojima Hengsuke and overtook the score. In the 53rd minute, He Chao made a steal in the midfield, Tang Shi plugged straight, Yao Junsheng passed the ball in the bottom triangle on the left side, and Wei Shihao shot low in front of the penalty area to break the net!

Brace! Extended the score to 3-1!

once again proved his attributes as a "Japanese killer", and the fans at the scene also played the "C Hao" brand at the right time. In the 73rd minute, the Japanese team's long pass found Watanabe Kota on the left side, Watanabe Haotai ate Gao Zhun Wing, and then inverted triangle cross near the bottom line, Iwasaki Yuto inserted an unguarded shot to score twice, the Japanese team pulled back a goal, but it was still a little close, and the Chinese team's offensive opportunities still had - in stoppage time, the free kick at the front of the Chinese team's penalty area was directly confiscated by the goalkeeper, and the final score was fixed at 3-2, and the Chinese team eliminated Japan to advance to the top 4.
