Before the Asian Cup, whether it was fans, football commentators, or sports media, they were very worried about the prospects of the Chinese national football team in this Asian Cup.

Some people think it's good not to lose three times in a row, some think that it's okay to kick out the level, and don't pursue too much results, and some think that they will lose anyway.

However, the first game of the national football team surprised many people, because the national football team actually won, at this time everyone is still not very optimistic about the national football team, fans are calculating whether they can get some points from North Korea after losing to the national football team Uzbekistan, so that they may be able to qualify.

Many sports media also said that the Chinese team's victory over Saudi Arabia was luck, if it wasn't for the final refraction of the goal, the Chinese team would not have been able to win the Saudi team, and the Chinese team would have been exposed against Uzbekistan and North Korea later.

In the second game, the Chinese team won again, and the win was more convincing than the first one, and in the first 20 minutes and the last 20 minutes, the Chinese team slipped away from the Uzbek players.

This time, the fans were finally convinced, because the national football team and Uzbekistan played the game, both sides fought hard, and the effective game time of the two teams reached 62 minutes, which was completely at the level of the Champions League.

Winning against Uzbekistan in such a tough game is not only luck, of course, but also strength.

Many fans said: "I can proudly say that we won. ”

There is no doubt that the fans are people who truly love the national football team.

The Chinese team won two games and two wins, locked the first place in the group in advance, qualified ahead of schedule, and no longer had the embarrassing situation of the so-called "draw and qualify", but was eliminated in the end, and no longer had to worry about the last round of games, which made all the fans who paid attention to the national football team excited, not to mention the victory over Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, the two Asian powerhouses.

In the minds of many fans, at least for now, this national team is the best in the last decade in terms of technical tactics and mental, and fans have a higher outlook for the results of the Asian Cup.

Some fans said that winning Saudi Arabia is enough to blow for half a year, winning Uzbekistan is enough to blow for a year, and if you can meet South Korea in the quarterfinals and win, it is enough to blow for a lifetime.

There are also fans who say that if he can win against Japan, then even if the national football team will never be able to enter the World Cup, he will also be a brainless fan.

Most of these fans ridiculed, but to a certain extent, it also shows that they have higher expectations for the national football team, and they expect to win against Asia's first-class teams like Japan and South Korea.

The fans are happy, and the reputation of the players is naturally better, especially the outstanding Wang Dalei, Sun Ke, and Wu Xi, who have basically formed a slaughter version of the domination mode in major sports forums.

The performance was not good, and under the two wins of the two games, the fans also generously let it go. And Li Yun became the only player who performed average in the eyes of many fans, but came out to denounce it.

"Li Yun garbage, you know how many waves have you shot in these two games?"

"Can you be serious, the club is a dragon, the national team is a worm, is there a patriotic spirit?"

"The club has bonuses, the national team doesn't have anything, Li Yun, you just look at the money to play."

Li Yun's performance was not as good as many people expected, which inevitably disappointed some people, and some media also began to analyze why Li Yun did not want to be as good as in the FA Cup.

Li Yun didn't know what domestic fans and the media thought, until Hu Susu called him and asked him not to have too much psychological burden, just be worthy of his conscience, Li Yun vaguely understood that his evaluation on domestic sports forums was getting lower and lower, and the media began to hack him.

At the end of the day's training, Li Yun turned on the computer in the dormitory and browsed the domestic sports website, and he found that as long as it was the news of the national football team, he would basically be mentioned in the comments below, and most of them were negative comments.

Li Yun sighed, he actually thought about why the performance of these two games was not as eye-catching as when he was in China, and he felt that there were four main points.

One is that he is nervous and demanding, and he always wants to hit the dead corner when shooting, but the result is missed.

The second is that he and his teammates still don't have a tacit understanding, although the training with him as the offensive core has already begun, but in the game, his teammates still prefer to make a fuss with the two wings, and Li Yun actually has a lot less time to hold the ball.

Third, whether it is the Saudi Arabian or Uzbek team, their defenders are at the level of the Super League, which is still better than the average defender.

Fourth, Peilan's tactical arrangement, such as the game with the Uzbekistan team, Peilan is required to cut the ribs of the two wings, Li Yun responded, in fact, although Peilan said during training to let Li Yun organize the attack, but the Asian Cup has never really formulated corresponding tactics for this, that is to say, Li Yun did not get the right to organize, he is more to cooperate with the pass.

Although Li Yun was depressed by the unexpected performance, he was not discouraged, he believed that the Chinese team needed people in the middle of the frontcourt, whether it was Perrin or his teammates, one day he would truly recognize his strength, it could be the next game, or the quarterfinals, in short, he will definitely return to his best form.

In Li Yun's active preparations, the last game of the group stage, the red derby between the Chinese team and the North Korean team finally arrived.

At 5 p.m. on January 18, 2015, the third round of the group stage of Group B of the Asian Cup between the Chinese team and the North Korean team officially began.

Chinese team starters: Wang Dalei (goalkeeper); Jiang Zhipeng, Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong; Cai Huikang, Zheng Zhi; Sun Ke, Li Yun, Yu Hai; Gao Lin.

Formation 4231.

North Korea's starters: Lee Myung Kook (goalkeeper); Zhang Chenghyuk, Quan Guangyi, Lu Xuezhu, Shen Yunzhen, Zhang Gongzhe; Yang Yong-gi, Park Song-chul, Jung Il-gwan, Ahn Cheol-hyuk; Park Kwang-ryong.

Formation 451.

North Korea has lost two consecutive games before, and before this game, North Korean coach Cho Dong Wook said in an interview with reporters that he would do his best to fight for dignity.

The atmosphere of the Chinese team is relaxed, first, the points are enough, the last game does not need to fight so hard, and the second is that the national football team has not lost to North Korea since 86 years later, and the first two games played well, and everyone believes that the third game can continue the previous state.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Zheng Zhi passed to Li Yun, Li Yun split the side, Sun Ke received the ball, Liang Yongji defended, and passed back to Mei Fang at any time, and Mei Fang made a long direct pass.

Jin Guangyi rushed to the top and pushed the ball to the midfield, but he pushed the ball to Sun Ke's feet, Sun Ke took two steps, and then pulled out his foot and shot angrily.

Before Li Mingguo could react, the ball had already hit the net.

In the opening 44 seconds, Sun Ke blitzed successfully, and the Chinese team 1:0 North Korea.

This goal blinded North Korea, and in the rest of the first half, the Chinese team basically took the initiative, Sun Ke and Haijiang Zhipeng were especially active on the side, pressing North Korea to death, and Li Yun's middle was much calmer.

Seeing that Li Yun was in an average state, Pei Lan replaced him and Hao Junmin played.

As soon as Hao Junmin got the ball on the field, he planned an attack, he transferred the ball widely, passed the ball to Jiang Zhipeng, who was inserted behind, Jiang Zhipeng crossed, and Sun Ke pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal at the back point.

Sun Ke scored twice, and the Chinese team 2:0 North Korea.

At halftime, the North Korean players carefully studied the spirit of Kim Sanpang and vowed to change, while the Chinese team prepared for the quarterfinals in order to preserve its strength, Zheng Zhixia, Wu Xishang, and the full-court pressing in the first half also gave up, allowing the North Korean team to control the ball.

The North Korean team finally played the spirit and played the fighting spirit, Park Kwang-ryong crossed after the successful anti-offside, Zheng Il-gwan took the ball, Jiang Zhipeng stepped forward to intercept, and Zheng Il-gwan smashed the ball and dodged the angle shot.

Zhang Linpeng on the goal line cleared, he blindly kicked it, but the ball hit Gao Lin's leg and bounced into the goal, and Gao Lin tragically scored an own goal.

North Korea 1:2 China.

Although the time after that was thrilling, the North Korean team did not make any achievements, and finally the Chinese team won the game 2:1, won all three games in the group stage, and advanced to the quarterfinals strongly.

Although Li Yun did not play, despite his recent mediocre performance, he was still very happy, the Chinese team advanced, we won!
