The four teams that topped the group were Uzbekistan, Japan, Australia and Iran, while the others were second in the group.

In this way, the knockout stage of the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar was played, with Uzbekistan, the first in Group 1, facing Jordan, the second place in Group 2. The second team in the first group, the Chinese team, played the first team in the second group, the Japanese team. Australia in Group 3 takes on Iraq, the second place in Group 4, and South Korea, the second team in Group 3, plays Iran, the first place in Group 4.

That is to say, the opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout round is the East Asian strong Japanese team, the Japanese team is now ranked 30th in the world, ranked first in Asia, very strong, and it is also the team with the highest call to win the Asian Cup.

At this time, the Chinese team played against the Japanese team, and this is definitely a game worth paying attention to.

The Japanese team is the team with the highest call to win the Asian Cup, while the Chinese team is the hottest team since the start of the Asian Cup, and the historical grievances between the two national teams are destined to make these two teams definitely not dull when they play.

In the past matches between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, the game will always be very hot. However, the gap between the Chinese team and the Japanese team was a bit big before, and the Chinese team always lost, which made the Japanese team even more arrogant.

But this also makes the fans of the Chinese team very unhappy, no matter how your Chinese team loses, you just can't lose to little Japan, the fans of the Chinese team think so.

Now the strength of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is very good, in the previous game, the Chinese team has a very good performance, showing a good state, which gives the fans of the Chinese team a lot of confidence, they think that this game is an opportunity for the Chinese team to teach the Japanese team a good lesson.

The fans of the Chinese team walked and followed the game, shouting slogans such as killing little Japan and defeating the Japanese team in front of the media reporters, and they wanted a victory.

The fans of the Chinese team hate the Japanese team very much, but the fans of the Chinese team will not be blinded, they know that the strength of the Japanese team is very strong, which they admit, at least in Asia, the Japanese team is indeed a top team.

However, these are not excuses for the Chinese team to admit intimidation, even if there is a gap with the Japanese team, we will still not give up, and we will never give up.

Put together! We are going to go shopping for Japan, win a game, and let the Japanese have a good look at the strength of our Chinese team.

When they learned that they were going to play the Japanese team, the players of the Chinese team were full of wrinkles, and during this time, they all trained seriously, and they were all very dedicated, and they were in an unprecedented state of intense preparation.

It can be seen from here that the players of the Chinese team also want to win this game very much, they attach great importance to this game, and they will definitely fight the opponent in this game to let the opponent know that their Chinese team is powerful.

The current Chinese team is very different from the previous Chinese team, this is mainly because their mental outlook is very different, they are more confident, which is very important for the current Chinese team, and now they have this, they are not able to defeat anyone.

When he learned that the opponent in the knockout round was the Japanese team, the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, was also unusually strict, he knew that this game was definitely the most fortunate game for the Chinese team in this Asian Cup, but this would definitely not be the last game of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup.

If Gao Hongbo wants to beat Japan, he must beat Japan, just like he did against South Korea, they will definitely beat Japan.

Of course, Gao Hongbo also knows the strength of the Japanese team, he will not underestimate the opponent, but he will attach great importance to the opponent and treat them as the most powerful opponent of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup.

After learning the news, Gao Hongbo said in an interview with media reporters: "This was expected, when we gave up the last round of the group stage, we had such a prediction, and we are not surprised at all. ”

Gao continued: "Of course, the Japanese team is very strong, they are now the number one team in Asia and the biggest favorite to win this Asian Cup, which is naturally a very difficult opponent for us. ”

Gao Hongbo said: "But, let's talk about it, which team in the top eight is really easy to play? The teams that can enter the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup are all very strong, and none of them have a fish belly. In this respect, whoever is playing against in the knockout rounds is actually the same. ”

Gao Hongbo also said: "In the previous East Asian Cup, we played against the Japanese team, and we were tied 0-0 at that time, which shows that the gap between us and the Japanese team is not as big as everyone thinks. Although the Japanese team did not have any turtle players, and it was not the strongest Japan, the turtle players in our Chinese team were not there at that time, and it was not our strongest Chinese team. ”

The Japanese reporters below scoffed when they heard this, how many turtle players are there in your Chinese team? How many turtle players are there in our Great Japanese Empire? And what is the status of your Chinese Turtle players in the European team? And what about the status of our Turtle players of the Great Japanese Empire in European teams? Are these what your Chinese team can match?

Hmph, with your strength, you want to defeat our great Japanese team? It's a joke!

Gao Hongbo also said: "So, this is just an ordinary game, our Chinese team also has a chance to win, and I firmly believe that it will be our Chinese team that will win in the end." ”

The reporters of the Japanese team below sneered, they did not believe that the Chinese team could defeat their great Japanese team at all.

Don't look at the Chinese team is very popular now, in fact, their strength is really not good, compared with their strength of the Great Japanese Empire, it is simply too much worse, in their opinion, the Chinese team is impossible to bring any trouble to their Japanese team.

Now it's just that the Chinese are dead ducks with hard mouths, and these Japanese reporters thought angrily that they don't have to deal with the Chinese now, and when their Japanese team defeats the Chinese team, these Chinese will know the gap between them and the Japanese team.

When the head coach of the Japanese team, Zaccheroni, learned that his opponent was the Chinese team, he said: "The Chinese team is a good team, their strength is still very good, and they are also very good in this Asian Cup, it is a difficult team to deal with." ”

Zaccheroni is a world famous coach, he is from Italy, he has been the coach of the Rossoneri, Inter Milan and Old Lady Juventus, and he has also led the Rossoneri to the Italian Serie A title.

Zaccheroni continued: "Our only goal for Japan in this Asian Cup is to win the Asian Cup, no matter who we face in front of us, we only have one goal, and that is to finish them. And we have that quality, we're the best team in Asia. ”

Zaccheroni also said: "Of course, the strength of the Chinese team is also there, but they are still a lot different from our Japanese team. The most threatening player in the Chinese team is Dongfang Chen, but except for Dongfang Chen, the players of the Chinese team are not worried. And our Japanese team is not only Keisuke Honda, we also have Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, and players such as Yasuhito Endo, our Japanese team is not a team of one person, we are a unit. ”

Zaccheroni continued: "In this respect, Japan is definitely the strongest team in this Asian Cup, and we are confident that we will beat China to reach the semi-finals. ”

The sports media of the two countries are also reporting on this upcoming match, which is a nonsense important thing for sports fans and sports media in both countries.

China's domestic sports media used headlines such as "The Rise of the Oriental Dragon, the Gallafa Stadium Shoots the Sun in One Fell Swoop" and other headlines to cover the game.

The domestic media said that this game was very hot, and the Chinese team was very good, they were excited, thinking that the Chinese team was very strong, and no team could stop the strong Chinese team.

Chinese media have said that the Japanese team is simply vulnerable in front of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can beat the Japanese team very well, and the Chinese team is the biggest favorite to win the Asian Cup.

The Chinese media have clamored for the Chinese team to step on the Japanese team, so that the Japanese know that the Chinese team is powerful.

In Japan, they are frantically supporting the Japanese team, and their media are naturally satirizing the Chinese media, they think that the Chinese media is simply crazy, and they dare to shout with the Japanese team at the current level of the Chinese team, which is simply looking for death.

The media in Japan are frantically supporting the Japanese team, they think that the Japanese team is very easy to beat the Chinese team, and the Japanese media have exclaimed that this match is definitely a top draw, and the Chinese team is the easiest team to deal with among the seven teams.

Japanese fans also think so, they don't think that the Chinese team can bring any trouble to the Japanese team, in the eyes of the Japanese team's fans, the Japanese team has already stepped into the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

The fans of the Japanese team are even more frantically sarcastic to Chinese fans and media, they think that the Chinese are simply crazy, and in their opinion, the Chinese team will not be able to defeat the Japanese team at all.

Foreign media are naturally very concerned about this game, not to mention the relationship and history between the two national teams of China and Japan, but the state of the fans and media of the two teams before this game, which is enough to show that this will be a hot game.

However, many foreign media are still more optimistic about the Japanese team, as Zaccheroni said, the Japanese team is now the strongest team in Asia, and the Japanese team is a whole, is an iron plate, their tactics are very advanced, in Asia, the Japanese team is still very dominant.

The Australian media also believes that the Japanese team can defeat the Chinese team, and the strength of the Chinese team is really not very good, but the Japanese team wants to dominate Asia, which is simply unlikely, because in their eyes, Australia is the strongest team.

And a team like Australia, which has very physical confrontation ability and a very tough style of play, is the style that the Japanese team is most afraid of, and it can even be said that it is the natural enemy of the Japanese team, they think that the Japanese team will naturally not be able to beat them Australian team, they Australia is the strongest team in Asia, and the Asian Cup championship naturally belongs to their Australian team.
