Chapter 904: Best Group Stage Result in History
In the 89th minute of the game, Iello took advantage of a direct free kick opportunity to send the ball into the Qatari goal, and the whole field was eerily quiet for a second, and then it boiled instantly......
Beep~
Well? Why is the gesture wrong?
However, to everyone's surprise, referee Doki disallowed the goal again, on the grounds that the wall had moved before the free-kick.
But how can this statement convince the public?
If Iello's direct free-kick hit the wall that moved ahead of time and didn't score, there was nothing wrong with a heavy penalty, but now the situation is that the football has flown into the goal, and the penalty is based on the early movement of the human wall put up by Qatar, no matter how you explain it, it can't be explained.
A number of Chinese players on the field were extremely dissatisfied with the referee Doki's penalty, if it weren't for the experienced Aelo, Gao Lin and Hao Junmin on the field to pull those excited players, it is estimated that the game is not over, and a few people will be sent off, but Gao Hongbo on the sidelines is not so lucky, and the referee Doki will be directly punished by Gao Hongbo who complained on the sidelines to the stands under the reminder of the fourth official.
The Chinese fans in the stands were completely out of control, erupting in an overwhelming wave of boos and greeting Doki's entire family.
The on-site commentator He Wei even said angrily: "Does this Iranian referee really have an enmity with us China?" In 2005, the AFC Champions League 1/4 finals successively sent off Zheng Zhi of Shandong Green Energy and foreign aid Bhasin, causing the famous 'Jeddah' tragedy at that time, in the 2008 AFC Champions League group stage, Beijing Goan's fullback Zhou Zhou was sent off by Doki in the first half, and today our Chinese team's three goals, no! It was all four goals that were blown and invalidated, which is simply a shame for Asian football! Shame on the refereeing community!! ”
Even the commentator of Japan's Tokyo National Television couldn't stand it: "Iranian referee Doki's penalty is really incredible!" ”
Doki's drama lasted almost two minutes before it subsided, and then all eyes were on Iro, who had taken the free-kick again.
They are worried that Iro's normal heart will be disturbed by the referee Doki, so that the second time the set-piece will be wrong, but there are still many Chinese fans who are full of confidence in Aillo, they firmly believe that Ailo will score the ball in this set-piece, so that the damn referee Doki is embarrassed!
Three seconds later, Ayello hit the back of the net again with a direct free-kick, and Qatari goalkeeper Qassem Burhan was also stunned.
After Iroh scored the ball this time, he looked meaningfully at the referee Doki, and the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious: I scored again, what are you going to do?
In fact, this time, Qatar's four-man wall also showed signs of moving ahead of time, but Dorki did not signal that the goal was invalid after hesitating for a moment, but pointed his finger in the direction of the center circle, that is...... The goal is valid.
Therefore, He Wei of the on-site commentary seat sarcastically said: "This Iranian finally signaled that the goal is valid? I thought he blew the ball again and invalidated, because judging from the footage just now, the human wall in Qatar showed signs of moving ahead of time! ”
Although the Chinese team had one less player on the field, it was Ailo who scored another goal in the next injury time, and he relied on his individual ability to beat four people and send the ball into the goal with a cold arrow at the edge of the penalty area.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 2:0 at the Khalifa International Stadium.
And as long as anyone who watched the game knows that Qatar is definitely not just about losing two goals, if you change the referee, it will be at least 5:0!
All the media thought that the Chinese players would confide in the referee on the field, but what they didn't expect was that none of the Chinese players interviewed mentioned the referee on the field, and the same was true of Feng Xiaoting and Gao Hongbo, who were sent off.
At a critical time, the Chinese team players and coaches did not comment on the referee is a very correct choice, so it is the Chinese XX Football Association that stands out for the Chinese team, and Tang Shun, chairman of the Football Association, bombarded the referee on duty when he was interviewed by reporters, and expressed his willingness to appeal, and he has become the most handsome chairman of the Football Association in the eyes of Chinese fans.
The AFC Disciplinary Committee accepted the complaint from the Chinese XX Football Association for the first time, and their efficiency was very high, according to the abnormal penalties in the game video, it was announced at noon the next day that Doji was removed from the AFC's law enforcement circle for major events, and said that it would be followed up and investigated to see if he was accepting bribes in private......
Despite this, the mainstream Asian media and some European media reported the decision in detail.
You must know that Doki's penalty in this game made all the fans in the world feel like they were back in the summer of 2002, when the famous former Ecuadorian referee Moreno escorted South Korea to the final four of the World Cup......
The world's mainstream media could never have imagined that nine years later, such a ridiculous penalty would appear in the Asian Cup, the top Asian Cup in Asia, and there is no doubt that the face of AFC President Ben Hamann will be lost!
Because...... He is Qatari.
At the same time, the AFC Disciplinary Committee also announced that Feng Xiaoting's red card was cancelled after the technical team's study, but Gao Hongbo's punishment to the stands was obviously disrespectful to the referee and he was banned for one game.

Valencia adapted to the first two games of January without Elloh, finding their feel in the league against their younger brother Levante in the same city, and won the game 3-0 cleanly thanks to goals from David Villa, David Silva and Albelda.
In the following midweek, the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with Almeria won 2-0 at home in the first leg of the quarter-finals, setting a certain record for advancing to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Valencia has a record of three wins and one loss in four games without Airo, Ancelotti is still relatively satisfied with this, and the remaining opponents in the league in January are not strong, namely Deportivo La Coruna, Malaga and Racing Santander, what worries him is the situation after advancing to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, according to the draw for the quarter-finals, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Sevilla have a great chance of reaching the semi-finals.
At that time, Valencia, which lacks the two cores of Ailo and Wang Xiaolei, will be able to withstand the impact of one of the strong teams in the first leg of the semi-finals......
At the same time, the Chinese team in Qatar to fight for the Asian Cup won two games in the group, and Uzbekistan, which also won two games in the same group, joined hands to qualify, and the Chinese team ranked first in the group because of the advantage of goal difference.
The third round of the group stage becomes the battle for the top spot in the group, that is, the stage of selecting the opponents of the quarter-finals.
At present, the top of Group B is Japan, who are ranked first in the group with four points with one win and one draw, Jordan is second in the group with four points with one win and one draw, Syria is third in the group with one win and one loss, and the old powerhouse Saudi Arabia is at the bottom of the points after losing all two games, and also lost the opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals.
The third round is Japan vs Saudi Arabia and Jordan vs Syria, as long as Japan and Jordan do not lose, they can advance to the quarterfinals, and Syria must beat Jordan if they want to advance to the quarterfinals......
However, because the Chinese team is in Group A, the schedule is one day earlier than the final round of Group B, so neither the Chinese team nor Uzbekistan can choose their opponents for the quarterfinals.
Considering the physical distribution of the 1/4 finals, the game commanded by assistant coach Fu Bo made certain adjustments, Yang Xu, Zhang Xizhe, and Wu Lei, who could not guarantee the starting position in the national team, replaced Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Wu Xi respectively, and in the middle of the second half, even the captain Ailuo was tactically replaced, after all, the 1/4 finals will be played four days later, and it is a normal choice to reasonably distribute physical energy.
In the end, the Chinese team, which played as a semi-main force, defeated Uzbekistan 2:0 at the Garafa Stadium and advanced to the quarterfinals with a record of winning all three rounds of the group stage.
The three consecutive wins in the group stage of the Asian Cup are also the best group stage results in the history of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, and it is worth mentioning that the data is amazing, with 10 goals and 0 goals conceded, which means that the Chinese team is now the team with the most goals and the fewest goals in the group stage of the Asian Cup.
The next day was the two group games of Group B, Japan defeated Saudi Arabia 5-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals with Jordan, which also won, but Japan ranked first because of the advantage of goal difference, so the Chinese team's opponent in the quarterfinals was Jordan, and Japan's opponent was Uzbekistan, the second in Group A.
Australia and South Korea will qualify from Group C, while Iran and defending champions Iraq will qualify from Group D.
The group stage of the four groups is over, and the Asian media look back at the twilight, the Chinese team has shown the championship temperament it deserves, and the perfect performance of 10 goals and 0 goals conceded swept the seven teams that advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
On the day when the group stage ended, the Chinese team was prominently mentioned on the official website of the AFC: "While the Chinese team won the best group three consecutive wins in history, their 10 goals and 0 goals conceded became the most eye-catching team in the group stage of this Asian Cup, I hope they can go to the end ......"
The official FIFA website also mentions: "Top stars, beautiful and mature play, balanced attack and defense, is the quality of this Chinese team in the Asian Cup, so they have become the favorites to win the Asian Cup, 10 goals and 0 goals conceded to prove this, if nothing else, the Chinese team will dominate the Qatar Asian Cup......"
With the Chinese team winning the group to enter the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, there is another group of fans rushing to Qatar from China, and it is estimated that the number of fans in this group may have quadrupled if it were not for visa reasons.
Many fans missed the World Cup in South Africa, in which the Chinese team participated, so they didn't want to miss the Asian Cup again this time......
Moreover, it is still the favorite to win the championship, which means that the Chinese team has an 80% chance of winning the championship, which is completely worth betting on for those fans who did not follow the Chinese team!
