Chapter 189: Visit the Women's Locker Room!
Looking back on this game, South Korea's first contributor was Hwang Eui-su, who scored three goals and created a killer penalty to almost single-handedly bring the team to the top four. Sun Qiuwang, who played average before, has recovered slightly in this game, and two assists can still show his strength. It's just that the excessive pressure and burden of exemption from military service have left him at a loss, and only one goal has been scored so far, and Lu Zhuhu has played less than 40 minutes in total, and has already scored two goals.
People are more angry than people, and they really want to cry with anger!
Of course, in Sun Xingmin's entire career, it is very common to cry and cry, and his luck is really bad, everyone feels wronged! In the 2012 London Olympics, the South Korean team won the bronze medal and was exempted from military service according to the regulations, but Son Heung-min was unable to participate with the team due to his father's opposition, and in the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the South Korean team won gold on home soil, but Son Heung-min, who was playing for Bayer Leverkusen at the time, missed another opportunity because the club did not let go. Even if he defeated the German team in the World Cup, he didn't bring him real benefits, wrong!
It's just that after the current level, the goal has finally shortened a lot.
Uzbekistan is the champion team of this year's U23 Asian Cup, the strength of which is needless to say, three consecutive wins in the group stage scored ten goals and did not concede a goal, showing a strong offensive and defensive end, only the Chinese team can match, after Uzbekistan, the prospects of the South Korean team are becoming more and more clear. Throughout the history of the World Series, the team that finally won the championship has experienced ups and downs to achieve glory (there are no ups and downs and some ups and downs). Regardless of the outcome of the other two quarter-finals, South Korea and China will have a good chance of winning their opponents and meeting in the final.
At that time, in the face of Lu Zhuhu, whose reputation is now higher than that of Sun Xingmin again, it is really difficult to say what the result will be for China U23 to regain its tenacious strength.
Maybe Son Heung-min can be the real king and lead the team to win the championship, so as to avoid military service and affect his career in the Premier League?
Or is it the light of the younger brothers, the whole process, and the road to the Grand Slam on the sidelines or in the stands?
Fans even want to call on the Olympic Council of Asia to directly cancel the two semi-finals and watch the two teams play directly.
It's just that although the fans are very wise, it is still necessary to "go through the motions" according to the game process.
South Korea's opponents were between Syria and Vietnam, who were runners-up in the U-23 Asian Cup at the beginning of the year and qualified for the group stage, and there have been criticisms that China's U23s are not as good as Vietnam's team - in fact, other Asian teams are not as good as Vietnam.
There is no shame in admitting that the other party is indeed making rapid progress.
However, in the regular 90 minutes of this game, both teams were scoreless, and the score went into extra-time with a score of 0-0. In the 108th minute of extra time, the Vietnamese captain found Nguyen Anh Duc, who hit the crossbar with a shot from the Syrian goalkeeper, but after rebounding, Nguyen Van Quan scored to make it 1-0. With Nguyen Van Quan's stunning goal, Vietnam defeated Syria 1-0 and met South Korea in the semi-finals – still not an easy opponent to play against.
The other opponent of the Chinese team was between the United Arab Emirates and the North Korean team, the Chinese team lost at the foot of the UAE to qualify for the third place in the group stage, and the 1/8 final survived to a penalty shootout before eliminating the host Indonesia. The North Korean team is the second in the group, and the 1/8 finals also won the "soft persimmon" Bangladesh to pass easily, and it seems that the UAE is stronger.
However, it was the brother of the South Stick who fired first - Kim Woo Sung broke the deadlock for North Korea in the 63rd minute, but Yahyai equalised for the UAE four minutes later. The two teams had to go to extra time after a draw in regular time, and the two teams had no achievements in extra time, which was quite dull, and the promotion team could only be decided through penalty shootouts.
In the penalty shootout, North Korea's fourth penalty shot was saved by the UAE goalkeeper, and the UAE hit all 5 penalties, and finally the UAE defeated North Korea 5-3 in the penalty shootout, eliminated North Korea with an aggregate score of 6-4 to advance, and faced the Chinese team again in the semi-finals.
In the past, the Chinese team rotated a large area and Lu Zhuhu could easily win without playing, and this time is probably more "going through the motions" than the South Korean one. Even if the UAE asks the UAE to play in the UAE, I am afraid it will be difficult to cause an upset...... (The United Arab Emirates went to the United Arab Emirates to play, Fan Wei asked Fan Weiqi to play chess)
After passing the Japanese team, the U23 players expressed considerable optimism about the upcoming semi-finals, and naturally the captain of the land team asked with a cold face whether they wanted to repeat the mistake of Saudi Arabia -
Giving them pressure when facing strong teams, tightening their strings when facing weak teams, and maintaining a normal mentality is the most important job of the captain's trip.
However, after urging the little brothers to maintain their training intensity, on August 28, Captain Lu, who had just advanced to the semifinals yesterday, slipped away with a group of old teammates to watch the semifinals of the women's football team-
For these old antiques, women's football is a rare thing, not to mention China in that era, and it is not very common to see girls playing football in the world! Especially in this semi-final, the Chinese team played against the Chinese Taipei team, which can be called the "Chinese Derby", which is even more interesting.
The old guys came late, missed the previous "Chinese derby", in the 3rd round of Group A, Hong Kong, China had a 4-0 light win over Chinese Taipei, and before that, Taipei only 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 2 rounds of matches, the prospect of qualifying from the group is not good, "it is the same root and frying each other, he is too anxious", but only 5 minutes after the opening, Chen Junle broke the deadlock for Hong Kong, China, and took a 4-0 lead in the first half. In the second half of the game, it was obvious that looking at the face of the compatriots, the Hong Kong team did not score again, but it was enough to send Taipei home with his own hands.
Think about the Taipei team in the past, under the rule of Li Huitang, beating South Korea to win two consecutive Asian Games championships, marking the height of Chinese football, and now it has become a fish belly that is bullied and slaughtered at every turn (it was also 4-0 by Indonesia), it is really embarrassing!
What makes the old guys even more embarrassed is probably a good national team, which is now divided into the Chinese team, Hong Kong, China, Chinese Taipei, and Macau, China...... Fighting on their own.
Moreover, don't look at the number of teams, even if you form a team...... It seems that the strength is just like that, and Lu Zhuhu alone still can't take it......
On the other hand, on the women's football team, the situation is still much better, the Chinese women's football team and the Chinese Taipei women's football team can be called a good team in Asia, and it is not false that women can hold up half the sky. And similar to the glory of the Chinese men's football team in the early history, the Chinese women's football team is also a strong player in the era of women's football, the runner-up of the World Cup and the Olympic Games, known as the sonorous rose, and has also produced Miss World Football like Sun Wen. Sister Sun's status in the women's football world, I'm afraid that the current Lu Zhuhu can only look up, after all, regardless of influence, he has never been the world's first person in the men's football team......
20 years ago, in the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games, the Chinese women's football team won the championship. But in the next 20 years, the Chinese team has stopped in the semifinals. This embarrassing statistic proves that the Chinese women's football team is not the real top team in Asia. After all, after the sonorous roses of the old women's football team bloomed, the decline of the Chinese women's football team can be seen, and there is nothing to be done. But when names such as Sun Wen and Liu Ailing have begun to fade, now there is finally a youthful Chinese women's football team. The women's football team in this Asian Games is very strong, and there is no problem at all with the men's football team, sweeping all the way, beating Hong Kong, China 7-0 in the group stage, Tajikistan 16-0, and North Korea 2-0. In the quarterfinals, they swept the Thai women's football team 5-0 - compared to the men's football team 1-5 Thailand, it's really ......
This time against Chinese Taipei, it is to return to the finals after 20 years and impact the championship!
Before this semi-final, Lu Zhuhu went to visit the locker room of the women's football girls -
Although the girls had already gotten the information in advance, when Lu Zhuhu came, everyone still let out a huge cheer, and the excitement was overflowing, which made Lu Zhuhu embarrassed and blushed.
The girls are also fans and watch high-level European games, so it's no surprise that Lu is a first-line star or a native of the country. Wang Shuang, known as the "female Lu Zhuhu", has officially signed a contract with the Paris Saint-Germain women's football team on August 3, and is a hardcore fan sister of Lu Zhuhu as we all know, so she naturally wants to pull Lu Zhuhu to take a selfie, and Lu Zhuhu also modestly said that she is also a fan of the frost girl - after all, Paris has not yet said that she wants to buy him to play football! The girls laughed. Wang Shanshan and Lu Zhuhu both participated in the 2011 Shenzhen World University Summer Games, they knew each other at that time, they are old acquaintances, Wang Shanshan entered the national team earlier than Lu Zhuhu, but now the influence is not comparable, Lu is famous in the world, Lu Zhuhu said that I didn't score 9 goals in one game! Everyone laughed again. I haven't added Lu Zhuhu's WeChat before, and they have asked him to call up the QR code to add it on the spot - so Lu Zhuhu quickly got the contact information of many girls, before Brother Dalong asked Lu Zhuhu to help him get the contact information of women's football goalkeeper Zhao Lina, but Lu Zhuhu did not pay attention to his "unreasonable request". Well, if you watch it live, it feels even more beautiful.
Of course, fighting for the country, what kind of sonorous roses are not beautiful?
With the support of the number one star of Chinese football today, the morale of the girls in the women's football team is indeed boosted, and they continue to attack after the opening. In the 5th minute, Wang Shuang went straight in the middle of the front, and Gu Yasha got the ball on the left side of the front field and got up like a pass and shot high above the crossbar. In the 10th minute, Gu Yasha returned to the middle of the penalty area, and Wang Shuang shot high above the crossbar from the middle of the penalty area. After that, Wang Shanshan had another shot from outside the penalty area that went high over the crossbar......
It is estimated that it was Captain Lu's cheering that made the girls overjoyed, so they did this repeatedly. People who don't know still think that it was not Lu Zhuhu who visited the women's football team, but Gao Lin......
Overall, the Taipei team's defense is really good, and the iron heart is not out of the penalty area, and the bus is waiting. However, in the 51st minute, the Chinese team continued to besiege the gate of the Taipei team, Wang Shuang passed diagonally to the left side of the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area, Wang Shanshan met the ball and pushed it, and the ball hit Zhuo Lishan and slowly rolled into the lower right corner of the goal, 1-0, the Chinese team finally broke the deadlock!
After taking the lead, the seniors in the stands, who came to see the freshness, gave warm applause and cheered for the wonderful performance of the girls on both sides. In the end, with this goal, he successfully defeated the Chinese Taipei team, and entered the final again after four Asian Games, and is about to face the old rival Japanese team. The women's team is ahead of the men's team and is one step closer to the championship. In addition, it is gratifying that the "Nine-Goal Queen" Wang Shanshan scored again, and she is only one step away from the top scorer.
Such a Chinese women's football team has made people see the possibility of them truly returning to the top of Asia. In the past World Cup and Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team has reached the final quarterfinals and has the foundation to return to the ranks of the world's strongest teams.
The current coach of the women's football team is Jia Xiuquan, who was also "called" to play in the World Cup against Brazil, and is now trusted by the girls. Everyone expects Coach Jia to get an honor worthy of his hard work after jumping to the women's football team.
The women's football game satisfied the curiosity of Li Huitang and others, although because of strength and physical fitness, some movements of the women's football game could not be done, but there were also some unique places that made people feel very interesting and pleasing to the eye.
It's just that the not so "pleasant" thing is that after the game, the regretful Taipei women's football team also "tied" Lu Zhuhu to their locker room, reprimanding the same root and the same origin, blood is thicker than water, Lu someone actually vigorously supported the opposite side, clearly eccentric - it is said that when Lu Zhuhu spread the "football fire" in Taiwan as an exchange student because of his injury, everyone who played football was quite familiar with him, and there were also girls today, and there were also his "apprentices". After also exchanging LINE accounts with the Taipei girls, Lu Zhuhu was able to release himself and break free from the "cage".
However, both groups of girls wish him the same victory this time and defeat the baton – just as they were watching him play during the World Cup.
At 20:30 on August 29, the semifinals of the Asian Games began, and the Chinese team and the United Arab Emirates team competed for the finals. In this game, Lu Zhuhu started the game for the first time, and looking at this great god, the young guys from the United Arab Emirates opposite felt very good.
In the 5th minute, the Chinese team took the lead, Chen Binbin drew the ball into the penalty area on the left side, Wei Shihao received the ball in the small penalty area, and Yao Junsheng hit the goal on the left side of the small penalty area - but it was off the bottom line.
In the 10th minute, it was still the attack of the Chinese team, after the little brothers tried their knives first, Captain Lu personally attacked - he rushed to the top of the arc with the ball in the front court, and then swept away!
Directly pierced through the gate guarded by the UAE goalkeeper!
After scoring the goal, Lu Zhuhu spread his hands, showing that he was extremely relaxed and pretending to be a force.
Ten minutes later, the Chinese team Hechao advanced to the left side in the middle, Chen Binbin was cleared by the opponent when he went down to the bottom line, the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity on the left side, the corner kick was driven out of the goal, Feng Boyuan's header was pushed out of the goal, Yao Junsheng hit the goal but was saved by the goalkeeper, and the ball was cleared to the front court and let the Chinese team get the attack from the middle, Lu Zhuhu ran with the ball and suddenly shot a long shot!
Powerful and sinking! Straight hole!
Take a 2-0 lead quickly!
After completing the brace, Lu Zhuhu is still very relaxed, and the feeling of dimensionality reduction is really cool!
At halftime, the Chinese team led 2-0, and the UAE failed to close the score after the rematch, and the Chinese team replaced Lu Zhuhu with a rest in the 70th minute, but in the 77th minute, the Chinese team broke the score again, and after the successful shovel, Hechao directly stuffed it to the feet of Wei Shihao in the penalty area, Wei Shihao shot hard, and the ball bounced into the net after hitting the inner frame of the goal!
The Chinese team takes a three-goal lead!
In the end, the game ended with the Chinese team winning without suspense and advancing to the finals!
