When the results of the quarterfinals came out, Gao Hongbo undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chinese team, which has always been unlucky, actually drew the weakest Jordan team!

Japan vs. Uzbek Bek.

Iran and South Korea are fighting each other.

Australia, on the other hand, has a narrow encounter with Iraq.

Such an opponent is simply a dream for Chinese fans to wake up with laughter.

Countless fans have come up with such an idea:

"The best luck, the national football team is really going to usher in spring?"

"Against Jordan, six wins, three draws, and no defeat! The Chinese team is guaranteed to send the semifinals! ”

But there are countless netizens who disagree:

"Even if Thailand and India are opponents, the national football team may not be able to defeat them 100%!"

"The national football team is the best at breaking records, and the undefeated history against Jordan may be a thing of the past!"

"Be careful that the Jordan team teaches you to be a man!"

These netizens can't be blamed for being unpatriotic, because as they criticized, the national team in recent years has really broken the hearts of fans.

Since the 2002 World Cup was entered with the help of the right time and place and the historic advancement, the national football team began to make great strides downhill, from 48th in the international ranking in 2004, all the way down, especially after the chaotic period of the epoch-making "two co-coaches but no real power" between head coach Dujkovic and head coach Forado, the international ranking of Chinese football once fell to 108, and was almost overtaken by the Hong Kong, China team and the Chinese Taipei team......

At least the arrival of Gao Hongbo and the title of the king of friendly matches have made the ranking of the national football team "skyrocket" by nearly 40, and it has also returned from the eleventh place to the fifth place in Asia, barely regaining the title of first-class in Asia......

For the Jordanian team, the current Chinese team can definitely be called a strong team.

On January 21, the main force of the Chinese team, which had enough rest, swept the Jordan team out with a hearty 5-1 and advanced to the semifinals.

In front of the main team of the Chinese team that has been recuperating for nearly a week, the Jordanian team, which barely qualified in the last round of the group stage, is obviously a little powerless, and even Yang Xu and Gao Lin can come and go freely on their back line, not to mention the midfielders such as Long Shute, who is obviously a higher level of strength.

Ronshit scored a brace in this game and also provided his first assist for the national team.

But he felt it deeply...... It's much harder to get an assist than to score a goal!

That Gao Lin's shooting level is really terrible!

If he can have half of Suarez's skills, with his selfless feeding assistance, he can at least score a hat-trick!

-

Compared with the stalemate of other groups, the victory of the Chinese team is particularly easy.

The Japanese team and Uzbekistan fought fiercely until the last minute, and only relied on the substitute teenager Masahiko Ino to complete the 3-2 kill.

In the two sets of matchups on the second day, Australia and Iraq, South Korea and Iran both played to extra time, and the four teams were exhausted and finally barely separated the winners, and the two West Asian teams were out at the same time, and the places in the top four were all monopolized by East Asian teams!

- Australia won't be an East Asian team anyway......

"The next adversary...... Is it South Korea? ”

Long Shute, who had just finished a day's training, turned on the shower switch while wiping his sweat.

A curtain of warm water poured down from above, and he exhaled a breath of heat from the water.

In the semi-finals, there is no more big package, whether it is Japan, Australia, or South Korea, the strength of these three teams is obvious to all, and it is steadily half a notch higher than the Chinese team - of course, there is no time and space where Long Shute exists.

The Japanese devil's foot technique and tacit cooperation, the burly body and tough impact of the Australian kangaroo, and the tenacious perseverance and unyielding fighting spirit of the Korean club...... Compared with the Chinese team, the three teams have their own distinctive characteristics, and none of them are easy to deal with.

In this South Korean team, the captain is Park Ji-sung, who plays for Manchester United in the Premier League and is known as the "No. 1 superstar of Asian players", both Lee Young-pyo (phonetic transcription), Cha Duri, Lee Jung-so and other experienced veterans in their early thirties, as well as Lee Yong-rae, Cho Young-hyung, Choi Hyo-jin and other main players who are in their golden age, and there is also no shortage of emerging young players such as Ji Chengyong, Gu Zi-cheol, Yoon Bi-garin, Ji Dong-won, Son Heung-min, Gu Zi-chul was originally the top scorer of this World Cup, and the youngest Son Heung-min is not even 19 years old, He is the biggest favorite for the best newcomer in this Asian Cup.

Of course, with the fall of Long Shute's divine soldiers, the title of the top scorer and the best newcomer has been picked up by him, and the efficiency of 7 goals in four games has made him sit firmly on the throne of the Golden Boot, throwing Gu Zizhe, who scored four goals in four games, out of half the street.

If Gao Lin, Qu Bo, Yang Xu and others could have slightly better shooting skills, maybe Long Shute would have even held the assist king in his hands, instead of just a pitiful assist......

South Korean players have always been known for their mental strength and physical fitness, and the South Koreans who can't run to death are well-known in world football, but these two are very lacking in Chinese players.

For example, South Korean captain Park Ji-sung has occupied a place in a super giant like Manchester United with his extraordinary running ability, and because of his characteristics, he is called "Park Sanlung" by the Jianghu people.

Although many players in this Chinese team are in good physical condition, they are only compared to other players in China, and if they are placed in the South Korean team, I am afraid that half of them are disabled......

While taking a bath, Long Shute used the system to check the information of the next opponent.

But the system suddenly popped up a prompt message:

"Your team-mate Luis Suarez has been revealed to be in close contact with Premier League giants Liverpool and according to various sources, he is likely to complete his transfer this winter break."

Long Shute's mood suddenly sank.

Can't you stop what you should have come?

As the main striker and golden boy Torres was poached by Chelsea, Liverpool had to look for his replacement, but Torres, a top striker who could enter the top three of the Golden Ball at his peak, could not find a spare tire so easily, and coach Dalglish had to take a compromise approach, and at the same time threw an olive branch to local high school strikers Carroll and Suarez.

Carroll has been taken by Liverpool, and Suarez's side has also entered the final moment, but Liverpool and Ajax have never reached an agreement on the transfer fee, so the negotiations have reached an impasse for the time being.

Long Shute turned off the shower switch and stood a little distracted.

"What's the daze? Don't catch a cold! Zhang Linpeng slapped him on the back, which was particularly loud in the empty shower.

Long Shute was startled, and quickly wiped his body and walked out of the bathroom.

"Ha, Louis, it's me."

He finally dialed the familiar phone number.

The casual laughter of the Uruguayans immediately followed the signal: "Haha, dragon, are you back?" Do you want me to drive to pick you up? ”

"Oh no, I've got two games left to finish," Lonshette didn't laugh as he asked his question straight to the point, "Are you going to Liverpool, Luiz?" ”

“……”

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone for two seconds, and then Suarez spoke with difficulty:

"You've heard that, too? They did approach me through Pere and also made an offer to the club, but nothing is certain at the moment......"

Long Shute listened to his explanation quietly, and then asked slowly:

"Can you tell me what you think now?"

"We're friends, Dragon, I won't hide it from you, not to mention that we're still the same agent......"

Suarez's voice has long since lost his usual laughter, and he is slowly expressing his thoughts:

"You know, the club I've always wanted to join was Barcelona because Sofia's family was there, so I could only get the attention of Barcelona on a bigger stage......

The Premier League is one of the top leagues in Europe, and Liverpool is also a long-established giant, and their overall strength is stronger than Ajax's, and the salary they can give is completely incomparable to Ajax...... I'm longing to perform on a bigger stage, can you understand me, Dragon? ”

Suarez's last voice was almost like a pleading.

Is he begging for Ronshit's understanding?

Or are you pleading for the last barrier in your heart?

"I understand you, Louis......"

Ronshit is perhaps the outsider on this plane who understands Suarez best.

Bucktooth Su is the quintessential South American who came out of the slums on football, and he has a natural thirst for money.

But even for the average well-off player, going for more salary is the most unspeakable reason.

No one can criticize a professional player who chooses to transfer with "greed for money", "ruthlessness" and "betrayal", just as you can't criticize a white-collar worker who chooses to change jobs for a salary increase.

'I'm rooting you to go to a bigger club and I can't have stayed my whole career at Ajax myself, but not now, at least not this winter.'

Ronshette's voice was not impatient, and Suarez was just there listening quietly.

'Ajax is in a good situation at the moment, it doesn't take much effort to defend the league title and the Dutch Cup, and we still have the Champions League to play......

And what about Liverpool? They're already out of the group stage of the Champions League, uh...... I was mistaken, they didn't qualify for the Champions League at all this season...... And what about leagues? They are now only eighth in the Premier League, more than 20 points away from the top, and they are destined to be empty at the end of the season, do you think your arrival can bring them back to life? ”

The Liverpool side were in even worse shape than Ronjut had imagined, so he felt he couldn't figure out why Suarez had joined such a team in the middle of the season.

Suarez replied to him:

"I want to ...... The Eredivisie title can't satisfy me anymore, Dragon, I want to try a bigger challenge, what do you think? ”

"It's really not interesting to win the Eredivisie, but what about the Champions League?"

Long Shute retorted.

Suarez was obviously stunned: "Champions League? While it's a bit rude to say that to Marco and the rest of his team-mates, I don't think Ajax can win the title. ”

"Do you need me to give you an overview of how Mourinho and Porto won the Champions League?"

Long Shute still didn't give up.

"Times are different, Dragons, Ajax is no longer the European giants......"

Suarez is pessimistic:

"Just like your Chinese team can't win the Asian Cup, Ajax can't win the Champions League......"

Having just played a warm-up match against China a few months ago, he knows the strength of this team, so he wants to use this comparison to make his teammates give up persuasion.

"Since you said that, I think I need to prove to you that you are wrong."

Long Shute's voice was unconsciously stained with a hint of arrogance:

"You wait for me for a week, if I can't win the Asian Cup, I won't persuade you again."
