At the end of this game, the head coach of the Iraqi team saw the strength of the Chinese men's football team, he said in an interview with media reporters: "The strength of the Chinese men's football team is very strong, today they did not discharge their strongest lineup, but their strength is amazing, their frontcourt cooperation is very good, the attack is gorgeous, they play the most advanced football in the world, this is a terrifying Chinese team." ”

The head coach of the Iraqi team gave the Chinese men's football team a very high evaluation, which scared many people, of course, many people think that the head coach of the Iraqi team is talking big and exalting the Chinese team too much, and some people think that the head coach of the Iraqi team is killing the Chinese men's football team.

However, when the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Gao Hongbo, was interviewed by media reporters, his words surprised everyone.

When interviewed by media reporters at this time, Gao Hongbo suddenly changed his previous tone, he said: "Winning the championship? Of course! Whoever wins this Asian Cup is possible! I think our Chinese team also has a great chance. For this, we are ready. ”

Gao Hongbo's answer surprised the media reporters, before Gao Hongbo has always said that the Chinese men's football team is the third rate in Asia, and their biggest purpose is to train and qualify for the group. However, as soon as he won against Iraq, he changed his tune and said that they were aiming for the Asian Cup title.

This naturally surprised the media reporters, they didn't know what the reason was that made Gao Hongbo change his position in an instant, but when they thought of the recent results of the Chinese men's football team and the evaluation of the Iraqi head coach, they instantly felt that the Chinese men's football team may not be a strong contender for the championship.

After that, these media reporters naturally flocked to the Chinese players, and what they most want to interview now is naturally Dongfang Chen, the biggest star of this Asian Cup.

Dongfang Chen was interviewed by media reporters, and he said: "Of course! This time we came to Qatar to win the Asian Cup. Otherwise, what do you think we've come all this way to do? ”

Dongfang Chen's domineering surprised the media reporters, is this still the modest Chinese team before? Why did these guys from the Chinese team go up to the sky after winning the Iraqi team just now? This Chinese team is simply a villain in clothes.

Suddenly, many media are not very optimistic about the Chinese men's football team, they think that such a Chinese team has no way to compete with teams such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc., and even Qatar, Uzbekistan and other teams, and it is impossible for the Chinese team to even appear in the group.

Dongfang Chen continued: "Of course, we also know that it will be difficult to win the championship, but we will go all out and do our best to fight for it, and we will not let our fans down." ”

Hearing this sentence, the media reporters were a little better, it turned out that the focus of Dongfang Chen's speech was in the second paragraph, it seems that the Chinese are not so arrogant.

The news of the Chinese team's victory over the Iraqi team spread in an instant, and the admiration and high praise of the Chinese team, the head coach of the Iraqi team, also spread in an instant, and the championship declaration of the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Gao Hongbo, also spread in an instant.

In an instant, all the teams participating in the Asian Cup knew the news. They immediately expressed a strong interest in the Chinese team, they didn't know what had happened to cause such a change, but they were all very curious and wanted to know why?

Of course, some teams don't believe it, they don't think that the Chinese team will have any big changes, maybe the Chinese men's football team has the strength to qualify from the group, but they definitely don't have the strength to impact the Asian Cup championship.

However, after learning the news, the star of the South Korean team, Ji Chengyong, said in an interview with media reporters: "I don't think the strength of the Chinese men's football team is too weak, and they also have a very good player like East, and the Chinese team will definitely be the biggest opponent of our Korean team in this competition." ”

Ji Chengyong also said: "East's strength is very strong, I used to be teammates with him, I know him very well. And when I was in Birmingham, he also took very good care of me, he was a very good player, I believe that a team with such a player will not be too weak, China is definitely an opponent to watch and watch out for, I hope we don't meet them too soon. ”

Lee Qinglong in the South Korean team also confirmed Ji Chengyong's words, he said in an interview with media reporters: "East's strength is very strong, there is no doubt about this, I can say that he is the strongest player in Asia at this stage, and now it is difficult for Asian defenders to guard against him, and two people must go up to guard him." ”

Lee continued: "East is also a very good player, we have a good relationship and he took good care of us when he was at Birmingham, he was our senior. We know how good he is, so we didn't meet the Chinese team too early because they were really strong. ”

The support of the two South Korean players instantly made everyone feel that the Chinese men's football team seemed to be much more mysterious all of a sudden, and now more people are beginning to pay attention to the Chinese team.

At this time, the Japanese players scoffed at this, and the Japanese team's star Shinji Kagawa said in an interview with media reporters: "The strength of the Chinese team is actually the level of the third-rate in Asia, and I don't think they have a chance to qualify from the group." Of course, the player who called Dongfang Chen may be good, but I don't think he is very good, this time the Asian Cup champion must be our Japanese team. ”

Keisuke Honda, a midfielder in the Japanese team, also stood up and said: "It's hard to say who is the number one star in Asia, I don't think Chinese football is very strong, and it is easy for our Japanese team to defeat them." However, I don't think their Chinese team will have a chance to meet our Japanese team, because they can't even appear in the group. ”

Japan's midfielder Yasuhito Endo also said: "This time the Asian Cup champion is definitely our Japanese team, our Japanese team is the strongest team in Asia, and now our goal is not only Asia, now our goal is the World Cup." ”

Arrogant! The first impression of the Japanese team is that they are arrogant, very arrogant.

These media reporters are a little angry, you look down on the Chinese men's football team, it's normal. But you look down on all the Asian teams, and you don't have any whip that I don't have, it's not just Asia, our goal is the world. Lie down, you don't want to be an elephant with green onions in your nose!

Of course, after hearing the Japanese players speak like this, the Chinese fans are all very angry, your little Japan is simply too arrogant, and you dare not to take the whole of Asia in your eyes, it is simply looking for death.

Of course, many Chinese fans still admit that Japanese football is indeed much better than Chinese football now, and it is also a very strong team in Asia, but he doesn't think that your Japanese players are as good as our Chinese Dongfangchen!

Dongfang Chen is now recognized as Asia's No. 1 football star, what are you Japanese guys? Can you compare to Dongfang Chen?

Chinese fans hate the Japanese players very much for underestimating their Chinese team, and they are all very atmospheric, and they are all looking forward to the Chinese men's football team meeting the Japanese team in the Asian Cup, so that Dongfang Chen can teach these damn guys in Japan a hard lesson.

The players of the Chinese team were also very angry in their hearts after learning what the players of the Japanese team said, and they were very annoyed that these damn Japanese guys actually underestimated them.

Dongfang Chen's heart is naturally very uncomfortable, he admits that the strength of the Japanese team is indeed higher than that of Chinese football, but he definitely doesn't want the Japanese to be as different as the Japanese think, these Japanese are simply too arrogant, and at the same time, these Japan actually belittle him so much, he is naturally very angry.

In an interview with media reporters, Dongfang Chen said: "Now we are very much looking forward to meeting the Japanese team in the knockout round, maybe at that time, the players of the Japanese team will know the huge gap between them and me." ”

After learning of Dongfang Chen's response, the Japanese were also very angry. Shinji Kagawa, the No. 1 star of the Japanese team, immediately stood up and said: "The uproar is good, and it will be revealed by the time of the game." You'd better expect your Chinese team not to meet our Japanese team, otherwise I'll let you take back what you said! ”

Before the Asian Cup started, there was such a strong smell of gunpowder, which instantly attracted more fans and more attention to the Asian Cup, and even the European media was paying attention to the Asian Cup this time.

Borussia Dortmund from Germany stood up for Shinji Kagawa, saying on their official website: "Shinji Kagawa is very good, he is an indispensable member of our team, we think he is the number one star in Asia, we hope he can get good results and bring back the Asian Cup title." ”

Dortmund FC immediately stood behind Shinji Kagawa and supported Shinji Kagawa, after all, Shinji Kagawa was a player of their club.

And the Arsenal team in England also stood up, they also published a message on their official website, paying attention to this Asian Cup, they said: "Dongfang Chen is a very good star, his strength has reached the top in Asia, and even in Europe, Dongfang Chen's strength is also the top in Asia, with Dongfang Chen's joining, the Chinese team will definitely achieve good results." ”

With the addition of these teams, the Asian Cup naturally receives more attention, which is a very good way for the AFC.

It was in this situation that the 2011 Qatar tournament officially began.

The opening match of the Asian Cup in Qatar was played between the host Qatar and Uzbekistan, which was the first match of this Asian Cup, and it was also a match with a host country, which naturally attracted the attention of a lot of fans.

The Khalifa Stadium was full of people, who, after watching the opening ceremony, began to watch the match of the host Qatar team.

Qatari fans naturally have very strong hopes for Qatar, and they hope that the Qatari team can get good results at home. However, the strength of the Uzbek team is very strong, and they are worried.

Sure enough, not long after the game began, Uzbekistan scored a goal, and Akhmedov received a pass from Haidarov on the wing and scored directly in the penalty area.

In the second half of the game, Jeparov seized on the mistake of the Qatari defender, broke the ball into the penalty area, and scored directly with a low shot, extending the score to 2-0.

In the end, in the opening match, the host Qatar lost 0-2 to the Uzbekistan team, which naturally disappointed the fans of the host country.

The next game is the match between China and Kuwait, the first opponent of the group.
