No. 149: This is England II

South Korea defeated Uzbekistan 3-2 to finish third in the Asian Cup.

It can be seen from this game that the South Korean team is still stronger than the Uzbekistan team in terms of strength, and it is a lot stronger.

Although, the score is 3-2, and the South Korean team is tightly ahead by one goal. But from the course of the game, it can be seen that the South Korean team is stronger.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team, so naturally the Chinese team will be better than the Uzbekistan team. This shows that the Chinese team may not be worse than the Australian team, and who is better must be known through the fight.

However, at this time, some media from the outside world still pay more attention to the Australian national team, the Australian national team is very strong, strong, and the high-altitude ball is very powerful, and the Chinese team is difficult to compete with the Australian national team in this regard.

And the Australian national team is a regular in the World Cup, and its performance in the World Cup is also good. The Chinese team has not appeared on the world stage for a long time, which naturally shows that the strength of the Chinese team is not as good as the Australian national team.

Moreover, the previous Asian Cup semi-finals show that the Australian national team is in very good form now, and the Australian national team is in the best form at the moment, and at this time, the Australian national team can beat the Asian opponent.

In the group stage, the Australian national team was unable to win against South Korea, although it only drew with South Korea. However, the Australian national team had a very big advantage in that game, and they were just a little bit of luck.

Moreover, the Australian national team was not at its best in that game. Now that the Australian national team is at their best, they will be able to beat South Korea as well.

Therefore, everyone thinks that the Australian national team should think more about the strength than the Chinese team, and they are more optimistic about the Australian national team.

Many foreign media are more optimistic about the Australian national team, and they believe that the Australian national team is the champion of this Asian Cup.

However, some foreign media are optimistic about the Chinese team, for example, the South Koreans who defeated the Chinese team think that the strength of the Chinese team is very strong, and the Chinese team is the champion of this Asian Cup.

When Ji Chengyong, a player of the South Korean team, was interviewed by media reporters, he said: "The strength of the Chinese team is very strong, especially when they have Easter in their team! The fact that the Chinese team was able to defeat our South Korean team is a reflection of their strength. However, Australia did not beat us in the group stage. ”

Ji Chengyong also said: "Actually, according to the points rules of the Premier League, in fact, our South Korean team should be ranked first in the group. If our Korean team ranks first in the group, it will be our Korean team that will meet the Chinese team in the final. ”

Ji Chengyong suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, you are not mistaken. If South Korea were the top of the group, Australia would have a chance to face China directly in the semi-finals, and they would definitely lose to China, there is no doubt about it. ”

Lee Qinglong, a player of the South Korean team, also accepted an interview with media reporters, he said: "The strength of the Chinese team is very strong, East's storage zài instantly raised the Chinese team by two grades, I think the champion of this Asian Cup will be the Chinese team, and the next World Cup, the Chinese team will advance to the top 32." ”

The South Korean team is optimistic about the Chinese team, while the Japanese media is also optimistic about the Chinese team. They believe that the Chinese team, who beat their Japanese team, are the strongest contenders for the title. The Australian national team can't compete with the Chinese team at all, because their Japanese team can easily kill the Australian national team, and the Chinese team that defeats them will naturally be able to.

In addition to these media, most of the Asian media are very optimistic about the Australian national team.

The head coach of the Australian national team, Holger Osike, was interviewed by media reporters before the game, and he said in an interview: "The Chinese team has really exceeded my expectations to get to this point, in my opinion, our biggest opponents in this Asian Cup are South Korea or Japan, these two teams are the top teams in Asia." ”

Holger Osik is a German head coach who didn't play for a top team in the Bundesliga when he was a player. However, at the end of his career he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada, and after retiring from the game, he stayed in Canada as an assistant coach for the Canadian national team.

In his more than 30-year coaching career, he won the Turkish League Cup, and also led Japan's Puwa Ruby to league titles and the Asian Champions League.

However, the best period of his career was with Germany, where he led West Germany to World Cup glory in 1990 with Beckenbauer.

A little over three months ago, Holger Osick took over the reins of the Australian national team from Dulchman Welbeck as head coach of the Australian national team.

This is also the first world-class tournament he has led the team to play since becoming the head coach of the Australian national team, and his results are still very good so far.

Although he has only recently accepted the Australian national team, it does not mean that he does not know much about Asian football, after all, he coached a Japanese team and won the AFC Champions League.

Holger Osik naturally knows that the most feared Australian countries in Asia are the Japanese team and the South Korean team.

After accepting the Australian national team, Holger Osik believed that they would face South Korea and Japan in this Asian Cup.

But in the end, it was the Chinese team that he had never looked at squarely before, which still surprised him very much. However, he is still very confident in the victory over the Chinese team.

Holger Osik continued: "Now that Japan and South Korea have been eliminated, then our Australian national team has no opponent, and it will be our Australian national team who will win this Asian Cup, and I am very confident. ”

The Australian Football Association is also very satisfied with Holger Osiek's results after accepting Australia. And Holger Osick's performance in coaching the Australian national team has even exceeded the expectations of the Australian Football Association.

At this time, Australian Football Association officials also thought they would defeat China and win the first Asian Cup in Australia's history.

The core player of the Australian national team, Colwill also accepted an interview with media reporters before the game, and he said in an interview: "The Chinese team has really exceeded my expectations so far, and the Chinese team is the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup." ”

Cowell added: "However, this is the end of their dark horse status. Our Australian national team will not give the Chinese team any chance. The Asian Cup champion is decided by our Australian national team, and no one can stop it. ”

Comrade Colwell also said: "Of course, Dongfangchen in the Chinese team is indeed very powerful, and he will be a very big threat to our Australian national team. But football is not an individual sport, football is a team sport. I firmly believe that our Australian national team will win the final championship, definitely! ”

Colwill is clearly very confident that the Australian national team can win the Asian Cup. At this time, he was very excited, as if their Australian national team had already won the Asian Cup.

Cahill, a player of the Australian national team, also gave an interview to media reporters, saying: "The strength of the Chinese team is there, otherwise they would not have come to this position." But they are not strong enough to fight us, and we are confident that we can take them down. ”

Cahill also said: "Of course, Dongfangchen in the Chinese team is very strong, and I learned how powerful he was when I was in the Premier League. But it's not in the Premier League and he's not surrounded by the same group of team-mates as Arsenal, so I don't think he's a problem because he's missing helpers. ”

Cahill continued: "Football is a sport as a whole, I don't think the Chinese team can make a qualitative change just by relying on a Dongfangchen, this game, it must be our Australian national team, not the Chinese team. ”

The Australian national team is full of confidence at this time, and they are confident that they can win the game and win the Asian Cup.

Similarly, the players of the Chinese team are naturally very confident. They have recently won back-to-back victories against Japan and South Korea, and in such a situation, if they don't have even the slightest confidence, they can now surrender.

Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team, also gave an interview to media reporters before the game, in which he said: "The strength of the Australian national team is very strong, there is no doubt about it. And his characteristics are very distinct, his body is very strong, and playing with them really has the meaning of playing rugby, and we are weak in this regard. ”

Gao Hongbo continued: "But our Chinese team has its own advantages, we are obviously more flexible, and we are faster, and of course our players' foot skills are also good. In this game, we will definitely play with each other quickly. ”

Gao Hongbo continued: "I think our Chinese team has a great chance to defeat the Australian national team, and the victory in this game must belong to our Chinese team. ”

Zhen Chen, who is part of the Chinese team, also gave an interview to media reporters, saying: "The Australian national team is obviously not a difficult team to deal with, they are very strong. However, our Chinese team is not easy to deal with, and now we are full of confidence, and we firmly believe that we have the ability to beat the Australian national team and win the game. ”

Dongfang Chen, the hottest player in the Chinese team, naturally accepted an interview with media reporters, he said: "There are many players in the Australian national team who play in the Premier League and the Championship, and even now many media jokingly call the Australian national team England's second team. ”

Dongfang Chen continued: "Yes, the Australian national team is very similar to England, and the style of play is also very similar. Their strength is also very good in Asia. I know a little bit about them because I've played in both the Championship and the Premier League. ”

Dongfang Chen also said: "I naturally know where their weaknesses are, so of course we are confident that we can beat the Australian national team." ”

Dongfang Chen continued: "I think it's time for our Chinese team to win the Asian Cup, I think this time we won't disappoint the fans again, definitely!" ”

At this time, the atmosphere of the big war is very strong, and the battle between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
