Chapter 190: The Final of the China-South Korea Division!

Finishing the UAE is just an easy process, and even if it is not the semi-finals, it still can't "force" Lu Zhuhu to play, although he forced this out, it seems that there is nothing else to do but let him score two goals......

Compared with Sun Xingmin, who is tired and tired, Lu Zhuhu only needs to follow the large army to fish, I have to say that he is really happy, but he also has to see the difference in the strength of the opponents on both sides. Today, the two semi-finals are played at the same time, and South Korea's opponent Vietnam is still a real strong team.

Well, I vaguely remember the 7-0 Vietnam during Zhu's guidance, when the players were complacent: Vietnam is also a strong team. Then he was criticized by the fans. After losing to Thailand 1-5, General Pham said angrily that he would lose to Vietnam in two years-

It seems quite far away.

But it makes people feel very embarrassed, if you open the record of the confrontation between the youth teams of China and Vietnam in the past ten years, the terrifying thing is: as the future of the national team, the national youth has not defeated the Vietnamese team in the past ten years!

The last time the Chinese national youth team defeated the Vietnamese national youth team was back in October 2009 at the 3rd International U21 Youth Cup. At that time, with Tan Tiancheng's hat trick, the Chinese national youth team defeated the Vietnamese national youth team 4-2. In the nine years since then, the Chinese national youth team and the Vietnamese national youth team have played 6 times, with an embarrassing result of 2 draws and 4 losses!

There is no need to suspect any "coincidence", "insufficient sample", in fact, at the level of youth training, China has long fallen off the chain, and people have been making continuous progress.

At the beginning of the U23 Asian Championships, Vietnam U23, which is also dominated by 95-year-old players, eliminated Australia in the group stage, and defeated the favorite Iraq and the defending champion Qatar through two penalty shootouts in the quarterfinals and semifinals to advance to the finals. It's not once or twice that people have attracted attention in Asian football in recent years. As early as the 14th Asian Youth Championship, it defeated Australia 5-1 in the qualifiers, and in the group stage of the main round, the U19 national football team that faced Japan and South Korea with one win and one draw was forced to a desperate situation - more trouble than Japan and South Korea.

Vietnam's 97-year-old reached the semi-finals at the 2016 Asian Youth Championships and made history by reaching the World Junior Championship finals......

Why has Vietnamese football performed so well in Asian football in recent years? They did not rely on sky-high foreign aid, big-name foreign teachers, U23 policies, recruitment adjustment fees and other policies, but did youth training in a down-to-earth manner.

There are also business leaders who take the lead in football - the former richest man in Vietnam Duan Nguyen Duc established the Gia Lai Huang Ying Club in 2001, investing at least about 4 million yuan a year to build the team, and then he and the former French football player Jean Marc Giroud joined Arsenal to establish the first professional football academy in the history of Vietnam "Jia Lai Huang Ying - Arsenal JMG Academy", after the establishment of the college, began to dig potential football seedlings throughout Vietnam, and finally left after layers of selection. This is not a football school that can be entered with money, and it has reaped results after a few years, the offensive core Nguyen Gong Phong is known as the "Vietnamese Messi" in Southeast Asian football, and the captain Liang Xuan Truong is the team's defensive gate and organizational core, known as the "Vietnamese Gerrard". Don't look at the names are all copycats, but one in the Japanese league and the other in the K League have established themselves. In addition to them, most of the main players of Vietnam U23 come from this academy, which can be said to have cultivated half of the Vietnamese national team in the future.

Founded in 2008, the PVF Vietnam Football Development Fund team has been playing in Vietnam's second-tier league since 12 years, and even if they qualify for promotion, they will voluntarily give up and devote themselves to the training of young players. PVF opened its new headquarters in November last year, covering an area of 22 hectares, with 4 natural and 3 artificial grass pitches, 3 rehabilitation therapy pools, other training facilities that meet international standards, and even equipped with Asia's first PlayerTek simulation system and panoramic monitoring training room, which claims to be the most advanced football training center in Southeast Asia to date. In addition to the hardware, PVF management is also very advanced, and they have brought in a team of professional coaches from England, including former Crystal Palace player Andy Preese, former Arsenal Women's goalkeeper coach Jason Brown, former FA consultant Swift and academy specialist Terry Robinson. On the day of the unveiling of the new headquarters, former Manchester United stars Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes were both in attendance. It can be said that PVF has been on a par with Gia Lai Huang Ying-Arsenal JMG Academy in the Vietnamese football youth training world, and even has a tendency to surpass Jia Lai Huang Ying.

Vietnam burns money for football, and China burns even more money for football, but China is really burning money - burning money on a small number of domestic players and foreign aid, and burning and burning is playing in its own circle. Is it to see the results now, ten years and eight years? Inexistent.

In addition to the club's spontaneous efforts to vigorously develop youth training, the Vietnam Football Association also strongly supports youth training. Although Vietnamese football has also had a very dark period, after 12 years of thorough reform, a very complete league system has been established, and now there are 6 age groups of national leagues: 21, 19, 17, 15, 13, 11, the Football Association also mandated that teams participating in the Super League must form teams to participate in the national youth league at all levels - this has been implemented since 12 years, and the Chinese Football Association only implemented this regulation in 18 years.

Chinese football is like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, always pointing the finger at the objective environment after repeated defeats, attributing it to luck and regretting the performance of one or two games or one or two players. And I have never systematically examined the root cause of Chinese football's problems, never objectively analyzed what is the good position of Chinese football in Asia and the world, and never really learned from the success of neighboring countries.

Now the whole country pins the hope of Chinese football to win the honor on Lippi or Lu Zhuhu, but no matter how good they are, they can't rely on Lu alone on the field after all, right?

And even if you win the World Cup by relying on hanging? There is no youth training, there is no endless stream of talents, it will always be a high-rise building on the desert, just looking good, and it is still very empty below.

Thinking back to 36 years of Lu Zhuhu with the team, the first stop was Saigon, Vietnam, at that time for the Chinese football in full swing, Vietnamese football was just a little bit of the French shadow of the embryonic state, after that Vietnam was affected by the war for a long time, there was no time to develop football, until 1991 Vietnam began to participate in international competitions. is such a team with no roots and historical origins, and now it is this kind of momentum, even Lu Zhuhu in the game wants to ask:

After all these years, how exactly have we done things?

Of course, even if Vietnam's rise in football is surprising, it is not surprising that there is a gap between them and South Korea, but it must be accepted that they will become a powerhouse in East Asia for a long time to come.

In this game for the final ticket to the Chinese team, the South Koreans took the lead in breaking the game, only 7 minutes, Huang Xichan received a pass from Cao Yoomin in the middle of the front field, and took the ball to get rid of Liang Chunchang's direct pass to the penalty area arc - Captain Liang mixed in the K League South Koreans are naturally familiar with him, Huang Yizhu was guarded by Pei Jinyong and Du Weimeng when he received the pass, Huang Yizhu fell but the ball was not destroyed, Li Seungyu stepped forward and immediately faced the goalkeeper and pushed the ball with his left foot into the upper left corner of the goal! The old and new order has not yet come to change the dynasty.

In the 28th minute, the South Korean team instigated an offensive again, after receiving a direct pass from Lee Jin-hyun in the middle of the front, Son Heung-min immediately turned around and plugged straight into the opponent's penalty area, and Huang Yizhu broke into the penalty area in front of the offside position and shot with his right foot in the face of the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal!

The ball flew over the goalkeeper's head and into the empty goal, and South Korea won 2-0!

The process of the game is exactly the same as that of the Chinese team, but Sun Xingmin is trying to create opportunities for his teammates in these games, so as to control the overall situation of the team.

Well, Lu Zhuhu's idea is to score goals, which is more practical than teaching his younger brother any skills.

In the 55th minute, the South Korean team counterattacked Lee Seung-woo burst into the penalty area to meet the ball and stabbed the empty goal, expanding the difference to 3-0, the game lost suspense, but it was not as perfect as the Chinese team in the 69th minute Vietnam team relied on a free kick to get back a point, Chen Mingzhong took the penalty with his right foot, and the ball crossed the wall and hung directly into the net in the dead corner of the goal.

In the end, the South Korean team won 3-1, as everyone expected, the two semi-finals were just a formality, and China and South Korea met in the finals. It is not too much for the media to say that this is a "difficult to achieve World Cup-level matchup", and many players from both teams have participated in the World Cup main match, not to mention that the core players Sun and Lu are both there, and it is finally possible to settle the speculation of which of the two is stronger. In the past, the Chinese team could not enter the World Cup, and now the South Korean team cannot enter the knockout round and cannot meet Lu Zhuhu, a rare frontal meeting.

For this final matchup, the fans of China and South Korea have been prepared for a long time, so they did not have much excitement, and they all focused on the lineup and tactical prediction of the final. In contrast, Vietnam, which was eliminated by South Korea, began a wave of criticism:

"Stop broadcasting! I can't take it anymore! Look at the Yanxi Raiders! ”

"Before today's game, we didn't concede a single goal and won all the games, but today we were crushed by South Korea!"

"Ah, I'm so angry! I thought my country's strength had improved! Please, get rid of all of them! ”

"Coach Park (Vietnam coach), please replace those players who are not physically fit and lack of physical strength, so that we can still compete for the bronze medal!"

Belch...... It feels a bit like the Chinese fans once upon a time, and the Vietnamese fans who "don't know the blessings in the midst of happiness" obviously haven't realized that they are in their best era.

Two days later, on August 31, the Asian Games women's football final was the first to start, and at the pre-match press conference, Chinese women's football coach Jia Xiuquan said that the whole team has been fully prepared, and all the players are not injured, and will bring a wonderful game to everyone. It's just that the fans want the men's football team and the women's football team to win the double championship at the same time, so the girls are under a lot of pressure now......

In comparison, the opponent of the women's football team, the Japanese team, is the World Cup champion, although Saki Kumagai, Rumi Utsuki, Hikaru Yumoto, and Kumi Yokoyama, the main players in Europe, did not come.

Well? Didn't come? That's scared of an egg!

Come on, girls!

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team continued the high morale of the last game, in the first minute Wang Shuang completed a cushion shot in front of the goal, and in the 7th minute, Li Ying and Wang Shuang made a pass and cut in front of the field, Wang Shuang sent a long shot from the periphery, and then Wang Shanshan took the ball to the penalty area on the right side and did it back, Gu Yasha followed up with another volley-

The three-plate axe instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the crowd, shouting constantly, this Lu Zhuhu because of the dedication to preparing for the Korean team can not come to the scene again to cheer for the girls, but did not arrange Lao Tan Lao Li and others to consciously come to the scene to wave the flag and shout, only after one game, the "old guys" all claim to be fans of women's football, not to mention the Japanese girls!

It's just that the Japanese women's football team, as the top team in Asia, has been suspended after adjusting for a period of time, and the two sides alternate possession in the midfield, and the ball keeps changing hands, but it is still the Chinese team that gets the best opportunity first! In the 32nd minute, Han Peng stuffed the ball straight to Wang Shanshan in front of him on the left side, and Wang Shanshan broke through Shiori Miyake's defense with the ball and came to the goal and shot at a small angle!

It's a pity that he was pounced by Yamashita Apricot!

It was the best chance of the first half, but unfortunately the Japanese goalkeeper was not ambiguous. The tropical weather was changeable, and it was raining all the time, and by this time the rain in the field had a tendency to increase, making it difficult to attack. At this time, Feng Jingxiang interjected - Sun Jinshun should be lent to the girls, after all, he is good at rain battles and amuses his teammates who are in a fluctuating mood.

Yibian fought again until the 75th minute, and the Chinese team got another great opportunity! Wang Shanshan went down the left side to make the ball back to Zhao Rong next to him, and Zhao Rong transferred the ball to Gu Yasha in the middle, and Gu Yasha volleyed directly without stopping!

It's Yamashita Apricot again! Hold the ball out of the frame with one palm! was so angry that everyone in the stands said that this Japanese woman's reaction was not much better than Zhou Xianyan's. Gas!

Until the 89th minute, whether on the field or in the data, it was no problem for the Chinese team to press the Japanese team, the three lines were closely connected, the passing was clear, the running position was in place, and there was nothing to blame except for the shooting boots.

Everyone is calling, is there any girl who is as stable as a dog at a critical moment like Captain Lu!

Finally, the hero has arrived!

In the 90th minute, Zhang Rui picked the ball to the front in the midfield, Wang Shuang broke into the penalty area with the ball after getting the ball, and she shook Sameshima Aya and shot hard!

The ball hits the post! Pinball into the net!

Lore Ball!

The women's football team has completed a wonderful performance!

In the women's football scorer list of this Asian Games, the women's football girls dominate the top three, Wang Shanshan leads strongly with 12 goals, Wang Shuang ranks second with 6 goals, and Zhao Rong ranks third with 5 goals - now Wang Shuang has increased the number of goals to 7.

Many times, the game is won or lost in a moment, and sometimes it is a breath of whether the goal is scored or not - in the past, the women's football team has experienced a long period of dullness, and this spirit has been lost for a long time. But I found it back today.
