China's 4-0 victory over Jordan to advance to the semifinals of the 15th Qatar Asian Cup was the result that everyone expected.

This made the Chinese fans who temporarily traveled to Qatar from China very happy, because they felt that their efforts were rewarded, and the Chinese team only needed to defeat the winner of South Korea and Iran in the next semi-finals to enter the Asian Cup final for the first time in seven years!

The most gratifying thing is that captain Ailo has scored seven goals in four games for China, three goals ahead of second-ranked team-mate Gao Lin and South Korea's Gu Zi-cheol, and will likely be the top scorer of this Asian Cup.

Moreover, Ailo equaled the seven-goal record in a single Asian Cup jointly created by Iranian player Fariba and South Korean player Choi Soon-ho in the 1980 Kuwait Asian Cup, and was only one goal short of the eight-goal record in a single Asian Cup set by Iranian goalscorer Ali Daei in the 1996 UAE Asian Cup, which means that Ailo only needs to average one goal per game in the remaining two games of the Chinese team to create a single Asian Cup goal record.

Chinese fans are full of confidence that Ailo will win the top scorer of this Asian Cup, because the top scorer can be won in the top European and world top competitions, but it is difficult to get the top scorer in the Asian Cup?

The only suspense is whether Iello can break the record set by Ali Daei for eight goals in a single tournament.

The Asian media is also quite concerned about this, after all, the existence of transcendence of history will always attract countless eyeballs, such as when Iello set a new single-season goal record in La Liga, the Champions League and the Premier League.

In the nine Asian Cup finals that the Chinese team has participated in in the past, six of them have entered the semi-finals and two finals, but the results have not been satisfactory, two runners-up, two third places and two third places, and the championship has always been in a state of failure, which has also become one of the major reasons for indirectly hindering the development of Chinese football.

In 1992, Japan won the Asian Cup for the first time in history by virtue of the host advantage, and then began a detailed centennial training plan, from the past that was ravaged by the Chinese team to the top team in Asia......

The men's basketball team is a good example, the Chinese team with Yao Ming is a world-class powerhouse, and the Olympic Games and the Men's Basketball World Championships can reach the quarterfinals, but Yao Ming in 2009 was injured in the Western Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, and his left foot was fractured, resulting in the reimbursement of the entire season, and it is even likely to have a huge impact on his entire career, and according to reliable sources, he is likely to retire.

With Yao Ming's fading out of the NBA vision, the level of the national team has declined, and the 2009 men's Asian Basketball Championship final even lost to Iran for the first time, playing a humiliating battle, and the 2010 Men's Basketball World Championship was a group with one win and five losses and failed to advance, which made countless Chinese basketball fans sad.

Without the championship as the background, it is difficult to develop a country's basic football level, so many fans are holding the mentality of going to Qatar to experience the Chinese team winning the Asian Cup, which will increase the recognition of domestic parents for their children on the road of professional football, and fundamentally solve the problem of the population base of football can be selected.

With the Chinese team's four-goal victory over Jordan, the head coach Zaccheroni, who led Japan to the semi-finals, consciously closed his mouth, because his Japan and Jordan had a record of playing in the second round of Group B. If it weren't for Maya Yoshida's contribution in the 90th minute, Japan's unbeaten golden body in this Asian Cup would have been broken.

Although Japan's 1:1 draw with Jordan and China's 4:0 Jordan cannot be confused, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the competitive state of Chinese players is very good, plus this time period is the rising state of European League players, and many players of the Japanese team are playing in China, and the J League is in the league break at this stage, and the competitive state is not at the highest......

At this time, countless Asian media praised the Chinese team, scoring an astonishing 14 goals in four games, an average of 3.5 goals per game, and what is even more incredible is that no goals were conceded.

Therefore, the championship temperament of the Chinese team is stronger than at the end of the group stage, and the media who previously questioned whether the Chinese team can advance to the next round have also kept their mouths shut, coupled with the selective neglect of Japanese coach Zaccheroni, which proves that the Chinese team is the most champion of this Asian Cup.

The results of the two quarter-finals on the second day were also in, with South Korea beating Iran 1-0 and Australia narrowly beating defending champion Iraq 1-0.

In other words, the two semi-final matches of this Asian Cup are presented to the public.

China vs. South Korea, Japan vs. Australia.

However, before that, the West Asian media was quite confused, and the four 1/4 finals of this Asian Cup were all battles between East Asian teams and West Asian teams, and the results were fully pressed by the east wind to the west wind, and all the East Asian teams that advanced to the top four were East Asian teams, which made the West Asian media feel very acceptable, you must know that this Asian Cup is equal to half of the home field relative to West Asian teams.

But there are also some senior reporters who know the root cause, as East Asian countries attach importance to youth training, more and more young players have emerged and successfully taken over, on the other hand, the West Asian team is fighting all day long, and the national team is old and young, and it is not easy to get good results?

In this regard, the Chinese media secretly rejoiced.

※※※

Ancelotti, who is far away in the Iberian Peninsula, is always paying attention to the news of the Asian Cup, and he very much hopes that the Chinese team will lose to Jordan in the quarterfinals, because in this way Ielo and Wang Xiaolei will return to the team in advance, and they will face Real Madrid at home in the Copa del Rey semifinals in midweek.

But the result disappointed Ancelotti, and the Chinese team defeated Jordan 4:0 to advance to the semifinals.

This also means that China has two games to go, and will definitely miss the Copa del Rey semi-final at home to Real Madrid and the league game away to Racing Santander on the first of next month.

"Hey-!"

Ancelotti sighed, and in the end his hopes were dashed, so he had to focus entirely on the Copa del Rey semi-finals without Iroh and Wang Xiaolei.

The camera returned to Qatar, and the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, looked a little ugly when he learned that the opponent in the semifinals was the South Korean team.

It's not that the strength of this Chinese team is inferior to that of the South Korean team, but it is associated with the fact that the Chinese team has been winless for 33 years since the 0:1 defeat to South Korea in 1978.

Thinking of this unbearable time, Gao Hongbo, who was once the main striker of the Chinese team, secretly gritted his teeth, and vowed in his heart that he must be ashamed in the semifinals of the next Asian Cup, and according to recent media rumors, it is only a matter of time before the Chinese team wins the championship, whether it is South Korea, Japan, or Australia, it is impossible to prevent the Chinese team from winning the final Asian Cup championship.

Gao Hongbo is convinced of this.

With only one step away from the final, no team will give up this opportunity, and the same is true for South Korea, who reached the semi-finals, and their head coach Zhao Guanglai said in an interview with reporters: "The Chinese team is indeed very strong, I don't deny that, but don't forget...... The Chinese team has been winless in the face of South Korea for 33 years, and any team will sometimes fall into a strange circle, look at England 43 years without defeating Sweden, France 23 years without beating Norway, so we have enough reasons to defeat the Chinese team in the semi-finals of this Asian Cup, so as to defeat the final opponent in one fell swoop and win the third Asian Cup championship in South Korea's history! ”

Manchester United star Park Ji-sung also talked about the match with the Chinese team in an interview with reporters, saying: "In the eyes of many people, the Chinese team is invincible, but we are playing a football game, and the biggest feature of the football game is uncertainty, everyone is optimistic about the Chinese team, but we think that the great South Korea is the ultimate winner." ”

After hearing Park Ji-sung's confidence in winning, the South Korean media immediately felt that South Korea was really good at winning the Chinese team, after all, the result of the football game is really unpredictable, and many times it may not be the dominant side to gain the advantage of the game, plus they do not think that the Korean team as a whole is significantly inferior to the Chinese team.

Former Tottenham South Korean star Lee Young-pyo was interviewed by reporters, and it was normal to talk about the result that the two would likely meet, he said: "The captain of the Chinese team is a famous star in the world, and his strength is very strong, and it is difficult to rely on an individual to defend it, so we will rely on a strong whole to limit him, you must know that what we Koreans are best at is running, and I believe that the final winner must be the Republic of Korea!" ”

Famous South Korean stars have expressed their confidence in the next Asian Cup semifinals, how can the Chinese team not react?

The current Dortmund vice-captain Feng Xiaoting completely disdains Li Rongpyo's statement: "Some people are already old, and they are a bit old and old, if a strong whole can make up for the shortcomings of the whole team, then Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal ...... These teams won't lose one after the other! In the 2009 World Cup qualifiers, Japan will not be beaten by us in both legs! ”

Originally, the war was on the side of China and South Korea, but the Japanese media was not happy when they heard Feng Xiaoting mention Japan's records, your two teams are going to play the semifinals, what does it matter to us in Japan?

Lying down and getting shot for no reason, and even more speechless is that he can't refute it, which is enough to choke.

Indeed, for the current Chinese players, it is a great shame that they have not won in the past 33 years, and how can today's powerful China ignore the opportunity of a shame?

In the face of confident South Korean players, Chinese players are always unable to avoid responding.

Before they knew it, the Chinese players had a war of words with the South Korean players.
