Chapter 440: Sudden Change in Wind and Cloud

While the Chinese team and Chinese fans were celebrating the victory, the Japanese team filed a complaint with the AFC and FIFA, asking for an additional ban on Lu Wenbin.

It turned out that Yoshida Ma was also elbowed by Lu Wenbin in the game, and a rib was broken, which took several months.

They believe that Lu Wenbin deliberately elbowed and retaliated against Maya Yoshida's tackle.

In their rhetoric, Ma Yoshida is also a normal tackle, and Lu Wenbin is a malicious elbow.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused angry rebuke and scolding from Chinese media and fans.

", do you still have a face to complain? It's obviously Maya Yoshida shoveling people behind his back, right? ”

"He deserves to be fractured, his turtle son is killed, and he dares to shovel people behind his back!"

"The red card and injury are cheap for him, and Maya Yoshida should be punished additionally!"

Some pro-Japanese media in other countries have also expressed doubts, claiming that Lu Wenbin elbowed Maya Yoshida, which should be regarded as deliberate retaliation, and additional punishment and ban should be given.

The Japanese are jubilant, but the AFC and FIFA will not just listen to the Japanese complaint.

Lu Wenbin is the hot Mr. Golden Globe now, and any issues involving him must be treated carefully, otherwise it will cause international news if he is not careful.

After some careful analysis and judgment, the AFC finally announced that Lu Wenbin accidentally hit Maya Yoshida with his elbow in the process of falling to the ground, and there was no deliberate elbow strike.

If you want to blame, blame Yoshida Maya for shoveling Lu Wenbin by himself, and then he was unlucky to be pressed by Lu Wenbin!

As soon as the final result came out, the Chinese players and fans, as well as Lu Wenbin himself, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chinese team has two more games in the future, either the semi-finals and the final, or the semi-finals and the third-place finals, both of which are unavoidable.

If Lu Wenbin is really banned, it will be tantamount to losing the biggest team for the Chinese team, and the Chinese team's dream of winning the Asian Cup will have to wait for at least another four years.

Fortunately, the final result put the Chinese players and fans at ease.

……

As the match day progressed, several other quarter-finals were also decided.

Qatar once again relied on the host advantage to defeat Jordan 2-1 at Khalifa Stadium to advance to the semi-finals.

In the other two quarter-finals, the final score was 1-0. Australia 1-0 Iraq, South Korea 1-0 Iran.

The top four players in the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar are China, Qatar, Australia and South Korea.

The semi-finals are China vs South Korea and Qatar vs Australia.

This is a real Sino-Korean match, but it is no longer a South Korean second team.

Of course, the Chinese team with Lu Wenbin is also the main force.

For the championship, both sides must fight with the main force, and the date of the match is January 25.

On January 23, in the 21st round of Serie A, Udinese VS Inter Milan, Inter Milan lost 1-3 away to Udinese, and the points stayed at 51 points.

However, this point is still quite ahead of second place, and it sits firmly at the top of the Serie A standings.

Then, on January 25, it will be the semifinals of the Asian Cup Chinese team VS South Korean team.

In recent years, the South Korean team has a better record against the Japanese team, and the strength is a little stronger than the Japanese team.

On the other hand, the Chinese team, there were players injured in the last game, and players were suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and the starting lineup of the Chinese team changed by three people.

Moreover, even the starters who came on the field, except for Lu Wenbin, who was physically deformed, were already in a bit of a physical emergency because of continuous fighting.

If it weren't for Lu Wenbin on the field, the South Korean team would likely have beaten the Chinese team by a big score.

However, now that there is a bug-like Lu Wenbin on the forward line, the result is difficult to say, and most people are optimistic that the Chinese team will win.

After the start of the game, the South Korean team was also more cautious and did not dare to press on it: they were also afraid of being beaten by Lu Wenbin like the Japanese team.

As for the Chinese team, they stick to the goal and don't want to let the South Korean team score easily.

The result was a bit of a heavy defence on both sides, but the first half was a little dull, and it was still 0-0 after 45 minutes.

Lu Wenbin's free kick did not score, and there were few shots on goal in the sports battle, and the South Korean team was also cleared by the heavily defended team.

Just when the audience complained that this semi-final was not exciting enough, after a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the situation changed abruptly, and this semi-final suddenly became fierce again.

The South Korean team has been haunted by the 0-3 loss to China in the East Asian semifinals last year, and wants to take revenge. Moreover, the second half has just begun, and if the Chinese team is not focused, it may be good to score a goal in a sneak attack.

And the Chinese team, on the other hand, actually played the same mind, all of them wanted to take advantage of the opening time of the second half to grab an attack.

No one wants to play extra time or even a penalty shootout.

That made the second half of the game look good.

In the 49th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through two people with the ball in a row and suddenly shot from outside the forbidden area.

Everyone thought that Lu Wenbin was going to break through into the forbidden area, but they didn't expect Lu Wenbin to suddenly shoot from outside the forbidden area, and many people were caught off guard, including goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong.

Although Zheng Chenglong touched the ball because of the distance, he was a little slower to react and failed to save the ball completely.

In the end, the ball stubbornly broke free from Zheng Chenglong's save and hit the inside post and bounced into the net.

Lu Wenbin opened the scoring and gave China a 1-0 lead.

But the strength of the South Korean team should not be underestimated, and the Chinese team's back line is indeed a lot worse.

In the 62nd minute, Park Ji-sung, who played for the South Korean team for the 100th time, received a wonderful pass from his teammates in the forbidden area and turned to hit the goal, and goalkeeper Yang Ji couldn't even make a save, so he could only watch Park Ji-sung's shot turn into a goal.

Park Ji-sung equalised for South Korea at 1-1.

In the 76th minute, Lu Wenbin took the ball and cut inside after breaking through three people in a row on the side, attracting the attention of many defenders of the South Korean team, and then knocked on the middle.

Zheng Zhi rushed up to meet the ball and shot angrily, although the shooting skills are usually poor, but the ball just hit the angle, dodged the save of goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong, and got into the net.

Lu Wenbin assisted Zheng Zhi to score another goal to give China a 2-1 lead.

South Koreans are still very tenacious, and the black whistle aside, South Korea in 2002 still showed some of their excellent qualities, that is, tenacious fighting spirit.

Of course, there may be pressure from the hosts, but the South Koreans' character of not admitting defeat is still very commendable.

What's more, now only one goal behind, as long as one goal is scored, at least the equalizer can be leveled and the game dragged into extra time.

As a result, South Korea stepped up their attack and managed to score in the 88th minute.

It was a free-kick attack, Ji Chengyong took a corner, and Che Duri nodded a header in the back to head the ball into the Chinese goal.

South Korea really equalised, and the score was 2-2.

At this time, the time had come to the 88th minute. Either someone scores in the last few minutes, or it's going to be extra time. (Ask for a commuter pass)
