Japan equalised at one point in the second half before the two sides went into a stalemate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info No one can do anything about the other party, the Chinese team is subject to the limited ability of other players except Chu Zhongtian, and has wasted the opportunities created by Chu Zhongtian and Deng Zhuoxiang many times, and the Japanese commentators who watched these opportunities sighed, and kept saying that if the Japanese team had so many such opportunities, this game would have been over a long time ago. The problem of the Japanese team is that they are exhausted by Chu Zhongtian's mobilization, and if they can prevent Chu Zhongtian, they can't prevent others, and they can't prevent other people, and they leak Chu Zhongtian. As a result, there is no energy to attack.

In this way, the stalemate lasted until the end of 90 minutes, the score was still 1:1, and the Chinese team and the Japanese team had to play overtime. This was the first extra-time match of the Asian Cup, and in the quarter-finals of the previous game, the host Qatar lost to Saudi Arabia with a score of 1:2 in 90 minutes.

In overtime, Chu Zhongtian's abundant physical strength once again exerted its power, when everyone was a little unable to run, he still ran all over the field, this time the Japanese team's round-up tactics against him could no longer take effect, because none of the Japanese team could keep up with his footsteps, on the ground for 117 minutes, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated at the edge of the penalty area, got rid of Makoto Hasebe, who had been running with him for 117 minutes, and then shot with his feet, and the football flew forward against the turf, and finally got into the door of the Japanese team.

Relying on this goal, the Chinese team defeated the favorite Japan team 2:1. But this game is not an upset, because after the Chinese team has Chu Zhongtian, it already has the strength to fight with the Japanese team.

The Chinese team defeated Japan and reached the semi-finals, which caused great repercussions in China. Regardless of whether Chinese football has really changed for the better, at least in this Asian Cup, the Chinese team has made fans feel happy.

There are many people in the national team who usually go online, and some even play Weibo, and they go online after the game to see what netizens think about the game, and the applause is loud.

Chu Zhongtian also opened Weibo on Sina, of course, Sina found him and invited him to open it, and gave him money after opening it, why not do such a thing? Previously, he opened a Weibo on Twitter abroad, but for some well-known reasons, he could not access Twitter if he did not go over the wall in Chinese mainland, so in order to satisfy those Chinese fans who wanted to care about Chu Zhongtian, he opened a Weibo on Sina in China, and when he was fine, he would post photos of training games and life on Weibo, which was quite popular, even more than the Weibo on Twitter. In the first 24 hours of its opening, he had 500,000 fans, and now he has more than 3.5 million fans, ranking fifth on Sina's meager popularity list. After the match against the Japanese team, he posted two words on Weibo: "Win". This meager post was retweeted 50,000 times and commented on more than 30,000 comments in a single day. The Weibo posts and comments on Weibo that day and that day were full of enthusiastic and excited messages from excited Chinese fans.

The Internet age is good, and they can see the reaction of the fans immediately.

Whether it is scolding or boasting, they can intuitively feel the feelings of the fans, anger or joy. At the Guangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese Olympic team lost to the Japanese Olympic team in the first game, Wang Dalei scolded the fans on Weibo, which caused a very bad impact, and finally he was banned by the team, and in the remaining three games of the national Olympic team, he never got a minute to play. Before that, his statement on Weibo was still very normal: he admitted that the second goal conceded was related to him, and called on his teammates to cheer up as soon as possible. But then he suddenly scolded Chinese fans on Weibo for being dogs, not understanding football, etc., apparently because he directly faced the anger of the fans on Weibo.

Therefore, in the Internet era, public figures are required to have enough patience and restraint, otherwise this is the end.

Chu Zhongtian never quarrels with others on Weibo, he does nothing but post his own photos on Weibo, and his following directory is also zero - he doesn't follow anyone, and he doesn't forward anyone else's information, which is quite self-satisfied.

Because of the impact of the Asian Games Wang Dalei Weibo incident, the Football Association originally stipulated that during the Asian Cup, no international player was allowed to update his Weibo, blogs and other network logs and other information, but Chu Zhongtian obviously didn't care about the Football Association, he violated the regulations after the game with the Japanese team and posted such a Weibo, which quickly became the most popular Weibo.

The players of the other Chinese national teams do not have the courage of Chu Zhongtian, but they can still go to Sina Weibo to see everyone's reaction to Chu Zhongtian's Weibo, and almost all they see are words of praise, many of which they can't enjoy at all, and now they are all buckled on their heads. No one said anything anymore, "It's the Japanese second-tier team that won, what's there to be proud of?" "People didn't do their best at all, what's there to be proud of?" "The competition is not important, the gold content is insufficient, what is there to be proud of?" …… The quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, an important game related to which team can enter the semi-finals, can not be regarded as a "game with insufficient gold content" in any case, the Japanese team also attaches absolutely importance to it, and the main forces that can be sent are all sent, judging from the game, the players of the Japanese team are also very desperate, especially when Chu Zhongtian scored a long-range goal, the crazy energy of the Japanese team made the fans in front of the TV look scared, for fear that the score will be equalized. So it can't be said that the Japanese players didn't work hard, but it was an impeccable victory. What everyone said the most was to follow Chu Zhongtian and say, "Win!" It is often followed by several exclamation points, plus a laughing emoji. There are many others who say "I cried", "I was so excited that I broke the coffee table", "My voice was hoarse", "As soon as the game ended, I heard firecrackers downstairs, just like the Chinese New Year".

When have they ever received such a "grand occasion"?

Many of them are beginning to experience first-hand the meaning of "playing football should have some other pursuits besides making money". It's a good feeling to be considered a hero...... ※※※ The Chinese team defeated Japan in the semi-finals against Australia, which is a very strong opponent. Australia is now ranked No. 1 in Asia in world football, surpassing established powerhouses such as South Korea and Japan.

Qatar, as the host at the time, tried desperately to compete for the top spot in the group, just to avoid a series of strong opponents in the knockout round. As the second in Group A, the quarterfinals of the quarterfinals will play the first in Group B, and both Japan and Saudi Arabia are strong teams in Group B, but Japan has the greatest chance of winning the group, and sure enough, Japan beat Saudi Arabia to win the group. Even if they do make it through to reach the semi-finals, they will have to face the winner of Group D, who beat North Korea and Iraq to secure this position, and the second place in Group C is Australia, who finished second on goal difference against South Korea. Although there are only two games, the road to the final is obviously more difficult than the group top. Saudi Arabia has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and with the strength of Qatar, they can't defeat Saudi Arabia.

Qatar's wishful thinking did not help them go further, the role of the host has been fully utilized, and the last eight are clearly their final destination.

Australia is very strong, but the morale of the team that has just won over China is very high, and even domestic fans are full of expectations and confidence in this national team. On the Internet, you can see the cheering of the Chinese team everywhere.

At the same time, some news media said that the Chinese team defeated Japan, which greatly increased the interest in the Asian Cup in China. Originally, everyone's reaction to this Asian Cup was very indifferent, and only hardcore fans would care, and a large part of them were still going to Chu Zhongtian. But now, when the domestic news media overwhelmingly publicized the news that the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team and advanced to the semi-finals, many people who had not paid attention to the Asian Cup before also expressed strong interest. Orders for tour groups to Qatar surged for a while, and tickets for the Chinese team were hard to find.

This time, even in the face of Australia, which ranks first in Asia, the Chinese are surprisingly confident.

"Adidas should have signed Chu Zhongtian in the first place, and looking at his performance, it is simply the best embodiment of their advertising slogan - nothing impossible! The Chinese team can defeat Japan under his leadership and reach the semi-finals, even if they face Australia, what is there to be afraid of? This is a message from an online game on a domestic website.

Yes, what is there to be afraid of?

This is the kind of emotion within the Chinese team right now. The quarter-final win over Japan was an important turning point, and the match made the national football players, who were still a little unconfident and too nervous, suddenly full of confidence. Even against Australia, Chu Zhongtian didn't need to say anything to boost morale before the game.

Although Chu Zhongtian once publicly slapped the AFC, in the face of Chu Zhongtian, who is so popular and performs so well, even the AFC has to put aside those grievances for the time being. On the homepage of the official website of the AFC, Chu Zhongtian has become the focus of attention, and he was also elected as the star of the Asian Cup round on the official website of the Asian Cup, and he is the brightest star of the four quarterfinals.

The match against Australia will be played at the Khalifa Stadium on the evening of January 25 and will determine the second place to reach the finals. Just an hour and a half ago, the first team to reach the finals had been decided.

South Korea beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the semi-finals to advance to the final, where they will have a chance to lift the Asian Cup for the third time and tie Japan and Iran for the most titles. South Korea had won the first two Asian Cups and haven't won since.

The match between the Chinese team and Australia was very intense, and Australia's English style of play made the Chinese team unable to take advantage, and at the same time, their strong body also made the Chinese team suffer. In terms of physical confrontation, only Chu Zhongtian can not fall behind.

Therefore, the protagonist of this game is naturally Chu Zhongtian.

Australian football is very physical, more than strong, but not delicate. Chu Zhongtian's skills are not delicate in European football, but they are enough to turn them around in front of the Australians.

In this game, Chu Zhongtian gave full play to the "art of deception" of a midfield conductor. The goal he scored for Gao Lin was to make the Australian defender think he was going to shoot directly, and with a flick of his ankle, he made a pass. In the 44th minute, the Chinese team relied on this goal to equalize.

Then at the last moment of the second half, Chu Zhongtian was about to catch the ball in front of the opponent's goal, and his legs were picked up, which deceived the defenders and goalkeepers in front of the Australian goal to fall to the ground and block them. As a result, the football only crossed his feet and finally fell to the feet of his teammate Yang Xu, who slammed the football into the goal with his foot to help the Chinese team finally defeat Australia with a score of 2:1 and enter the final!

The victory over Australia made the boys of the Chinese team burst with self-confidence to an unprecedented height. They are not worried about facing South Korea, because they have a psychological advantage - in last year's East Asian semi-finals, the Chinese team defeated South Korea with a score of 3:0, ending the embarrassing history of 32 years of undefeated South Korea.

Of course, the South Korean media and some Chinese fans think that the Chinese team's victory over South Korea has nothing to say, because the Korean returnees have not returned, especially the absence of Park Ji-sung, which has greatly affected their strength. The people of the Chinese team also have the same opinion about this - the South Korean team did not recruit a returnee player, the Chinese team did not have a returnee player, the Korean team lost the leader Park Ji-sung, and we also lost Chu Zhongtian.

If that 3-0 wasn't convincing, now it's fine. Everyone sent out the strongest lineup to compete in a gold-rich competition like the Asian Cup final.

Chu Zhongtian said in an interview with reporters: "I am looking forward to this final and looking forward to the game of the Korean team. Because as you know, I missed last year's East Asian semi-finals and I regretted it for a few days, and now I finally have a chance to make up for it. ”

These words made those South Korean reporters gnash their teeth, which was a clear contempt for them. The question is, what qualifications does Chinese football have to look down on South Korean football? The South Korean team has reached the World Cup finals eight times in a row, and how many times have you China entered the World Cup? There was only one time, and it was drawn by Zhang Jilong. Our South Korean team's best result in the World Cup is fourth place, what is your best result for China?

In fact, Chu Zhongtian is not looking down on Korean football, this is just a kind of psychological warfare, he is using this way to provoke the Koreans, hoping to make them lose their cool when the time comes.

In fact, for a player like Park Ji-sung, Chu Zhongtian still respects him.

On the South Korean side, the national media are clamoring for "revenge." South Koreans still remember the humiliating scene in the East Asian semifinals last year, when Li Yun, the representative of South Korean football, stabbed many Koreans with helpless eyes after being scored by Deng Zhuoxiang. After that game, angry South Korean fans poured directly into the official website of the Korean Football Association to leave messages, and as a result, the website was directly squeezed into the air.

Now the opportunity to be ashamed has come. Beat the Chinese team in the most important game and win the championship. Only in this way can they wash away the shame they have endured over the past year.

On the Chinese side, not many people mentioned the East Asian semi-finals a year ago, and they mentioned more "Koreanophobia". For Chinese fans and the media, a victory over South Korea cannot be asserted that they are no longer "Korean-phobic", but to be able to win two consecutive victories over South Korea, it is definitely possible to shout "Let that damn Koreanophobia see the fucking ghost zone!" ”

Beating South Korea once is just luck, and being able to beat South Korea twice in a row speaks for itself.

There are also Chinese media chanting "revenge", but it is the revenge in the Asian Games, and let the big brother of the national team avenge the little brothers of the national Olympic team. In the Asian Games, the national Olympic team lost to Japan and South Korea 0:3. In the Asian Cup, the Chinese team also met Japan and South Korea, they first eliminated Japan, and then they will welcome South Korea in the final.

In a sense, it can be regarded as revenge.

It's just that the Chinese team is not interested in this statement, the Asian Games has nothing to do with them, and they don't need to bear so much responsibility. This game is very simple, just like Chu Zhongtian said to the big guys, it is to win South Korea and lift the championship trophy, other than that, there is no meaning. They don't care whether Koreanophobia really puts an end to this proposition.

"Don't think about anything but the game itself!"

During training, Chu Zhongtian said to his teammates.

※※※The last thing Rangnick wanted to see happened, that is, the Chinese team really broke into the final, and Chu Zhongtian was delayed for a whole month in a competition like the Asian Cup, and a lot of physical strength was wasted because of this, which increased the risk of many injuries. Let's see what the Australian players are doing with him...... This game made Rangnick really worried that Chu Zhongtian would be in a wheelchair when he returned.

Fortunately, so far, Chu Zhongtian has not been injured. But who can guarantee that in the last final, Chu Zhongtian will not be injured?

Rangnick certainly knows how important this Asian Cup final is to Chu Zhongtian, and the importance he attaches to the Asian Cup can be seen from his strong desire to return to the national team to compete. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is in the final, he will do his best, even make sacrifices.

In the League Cup final, Chu Zhongtian played with an injury for a championship, fought until his arm was broken, and he was suspended for three months. And this time?

Even if it's only a truce for half a month, Rangnick can't afford it.

But what can he do? He can't call Chu Zhongtian to take it easy in the finals, right? Chu Zhongtian will definitely do his best as long as he plays, even if it is just an inconsequential game, not to mention that this is the Asian Cup final. China has never won the Asian Cup...... All he can do now is pray, pray that Chu Zhongtian will not be injured in the game, and after the Asian Cup, he can return a healthy Hoffenheim captain.
