With the production of the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the atmosphere of the Asian Cup is really revealed, although the weather is still very cold, but this can not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

More fans from the top four countries have poured into Lebanon, among which the largest number of fans are Chinese fans and Japanese fans, and it is not surprising that there are more fans in Lebanon, but Japan is such a small country as a big fart, but a large number of fans have also emerged.

In terms of passion for football and passion for championships, Japanese fans have never lost to Chinese fans, otherwise Japanese football would not have developed at such a rapid pace.

After several years of hard work, Japanese football and Chinese football have been far behind Korean football, which has a lot to do with their fans, Chinese fans are passionate, Japanese fans are rational, and South Korean fans are very aggressive.

Radicalism is never the right path to success, so the decline of Korean football will not come as a surprise, of course, Korean football may not be in decline, but the streak is destined to be left far behind by Chinese football and Japanese football.

Although Japanese football has been strong in recent years, the 99 season is undoubtedly a rather unsuccessful season for Japanese football, they have nothing in the AFC Champions League, and there is no Japanese team even in the two teams participating in the final, the most favored Gamba Osaka team was eliminated by Izumi City in the group stage, and Urawa Red Diamonds, who finally broke into the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, also fell in front of the same opponent in the semi-finals.

The name Lin Qi is undoubtedly a dark cloud over the heads of the Japanese team this season, and Japanese fans have neither the unforgettable love for Lin Qi as Korean fans, nor the heart-wrenching pain of Korean fans, the only thing they want is to beat Lin Qi.

Instead of saying that international superstars are their own people, what the Japanese want is to use their own players and their own teams to completely defeat Lin Qi and defeat Chinese football. In order to save the face lost by Japanese football in the AFC Champions League.

Honor is very important to the Japanese, they can't stand to live without honor, and the Asian Cup championship has become the only honor they can snatch from the Chinese national team.

Yes, grab it!

After the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the Chinese national team has become the biggest favourite, and they have the lowest odds to win the championship among the major bookmakers in Asia. Whether it is football experts, fans and the media, they are more optimistic that the Chinese national team can win the championship.

At this time, if the Japanese national team wants to win the Asian Cup, it can only grab it from the hands of the Chinese national team!

Japan does not lack rich people, although they do not have more rich people than Huaxia, but there is no shortage at all, these rich fans can actually use money to smash the odds of the Japanese team to win the championship to the minimum, but they did not do so. It's not that I'm afraid of losing money, but I don't think there's any point in doing it.

On the contrary, it is better to let the Chinese national team occupy the lowest position in the odds, and then grab the championship from the hands of the Chinese national team, so that Japanese fans can relieve their hatred.

The huge gap will definitely torture the Chinese fans to death, and the huge gap will definitely make the Chinese national team players, including Lin Qi, unacceptable. Then the whole of Asia will completely sink at the feet of Japanese football.

Japanese fans shamelessly think like this, and their desire for the Asian Cup championship is no less than that of the Chinese national team. Although they have already won this honor, who would have too much for such a thing as honor?

More importantly, this is the honor snatched from the Chinese national team, for the things that were snatched, especially those snatched from China. Japanese fans have always loved it.

Like the Chinese national team, the Japanese team is also bound to win the championship of this Asian Cup, and their biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship is the Chinese national team.

Similarly, the Chinese national team also thinks so, and the Japanese team is the old enemy of the Chinese national team. It is also their biggest opponent in this Asian Cup!

Unfortunately, the two teams, who are considered each other's biggest rivals, could not meet in the semi-finals, and they want each other to defeat their opponents in front of them first, so that they can meet in the final in a narrow way.

The opponent of the Chinese national team in the semifinals is Saudi Arabia, while the opponent of the Japanese team is the Iranian team!

Of the four teams, none of them are easy to deal with, being able to reach the semi-finals of the Asian Cup is enough to prove their strength, although Asian football is weak, although they may not even be the traditional Asian powerhouses, but in this Asian Cup, they are the undisputed strong teams that have entered the semi-finals!

※※※

For Saudi Arabia, Lin Qi is no stranger, especially for the two central defenders in Saudi Arabia, Lin Qi can even be said to be quite familiar, in the Asian Youth Championship, the two Saudi Arabian central defenders really left a deep impression on Lin Qi.

Now, like Lin Qi, they have received a call-up from the national team and can represent the team in the Asian Cup.

The difference is that those two central defenders have grabbed the main position of the Saudi Arabian national team from the beginning, and despite their youth, they are already the top two central defenders in Saudi Arabia.

The reason why Saudi Arabia was able to reach the semi-finals of the Asian Cup also has a lot to do with the two of them, it is their presence that makes Saudi Arabia's defense extremely strong, they have conceded a total of one goal in four games, and the Chinese national team is the team that has conceded the fewest goals.

To be able to score just one goal in four games, those two centre-backs have definitely contributed a lot.

Lin Qi still doesn't know the exact pronunciation of their names, but this does not affect Lin Qi to remember them, maybe in Europe in the future, Lin Qi can also have the opportunity to fight with them.

As long as the Europeans are not all blind, then these two centre-backs from Saudi Arabia will definitely play in Europe, they have that kind of talent and that kind of quality.

At present, the Chinese national team will play a direct contest with Saudi Arabia in the semifinals of the Asian Cup, and the Saudi Arabian team was very calm before the game.

"The Chinese national team is very strong, but we will not back down. They have the best wingers and centre-forwards in Asia, and we have two very good centre-backs who have lost to Lin Qi at the World Youth Championships, but this time, I don't believe they will continue to lose. The head coach of the Saudi Arabian team said in an interview before the game.

He named Lin Qi in a direct interview, hoping that Lin Qi can appear in the game, in the eyes of the whole Asia, the god of war Lin Qi should be the main center of the Chinese national team, and the Chinese national team is incomplete without Lin Qi's appearance, and it is also not the strongest.

The Saudi Arabian team wants to face the strongest Chinese national team, and he feels that this should be the least respect of the Chinese national team for their team.

"Thanks to the Saudi Arabian team for Lin Qi's attention, but Lin Qi is still short to join the team, he still needs to run in with the team more, in order to sit in the main position, this Asian Cup is not Lin Qi's field, I think we should all start from reality, Lin Qi is indeed known as the first center in Asia at present, but in our Chinese national team, Lin Qi is still my second choice."

It's a pity that Liu Yihai didn't meet his requirements, he stubbornly continued to put Lin Qi on the bench, even if he had reached the semifinals of the Asian Cup, Lin Qi was still only a substitute for the Chinese national team.

Liu Yihai has never denied the role that Lin Qi can play in the Chinese national team, but he is not in a hurry for Lin Qi to start, Lin Qi is a strange soldier in his hands, and it is also one of his hole cards, although the whole of Asia knows how strong Lin Qi is, but who knows how strong Lin Qi is in the Chinese national team?
