No matter what everyone thinks of this match, the quarterfinals between China and South Korea are gradually approaching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, Asia has three places in the quarter-finals, making it the continent with the most entries. This performance surprised many people. This also illustrates the improvement of the level of football in Asia.

August 4 can be called the "Asian Day" of the men's Olympic football game, as all three Asian teams that have reached the quarter-finals will be in action on this day.

The first team to make their debut was the Japan Olympic team, and their opponent was the Egyptian Olympic team. The match between South Korea and China will start after this match.

The Japanese Olympic team won a full house from their first appearance at the Games, as they defeated the favourites Spain.

In this quarter-final, they played easily against Egypt, which was not very strong. They took the lead after just fourteen minutes. At the end of the game, he scored two goals in a row, easily eliminated the Egyptian Olympic team with a score of 3:0 and broke into the semifinals.

It was only the second time in their Olympic history that they reached the semi-finals – the last time they did so was in Mexico City in the distant 1968 Olympics. They reached the semi-finals and eventually won a bronze medal, achieving the breakthrough of zero medals for Asian teams in Olympic football.

It seems that the Japanese team is really going to make good on their promise and win the Olympic gold medal.

As long as they can beat the winner between England and Mexico in the semi-finals.

After this match, the match between China and South Korea is about to begin.

South Korean media and fans are paying close attention to this game, and in addition to the grievances and hatreds between Chinese and South Korean football, there are more ambitious goals.

South Korean football's best result since it appeared in the finals of the Olympics was the quarterfinals. Seeing that the Japanese team, which has been competing, has reached the semi-finals, they naturally hope that they can also break into the semi-finals.

Sixty-four years ago, the London Olympics were also the first time the South Korean team reached the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games, and since then, they have not been able to surpass their best result of the year in 64 years.

Although they met the Chinese team with Zhou Yi this time, the Korean media still hoped that the South Korean team could beat the Chinese team, break into the semifinals, and make history.

And for the Chinese team, they have already made history, and every step they take now is creating new history.

When Zhou Yi and his teammates appeared on the pitch, he found that there were significantly more spectators in the stands than in the group stage. On the one hand, it's because it's a quarter-final after all, and it's a knockout round. On the other hand...... This match is very important for both China and South Korea, so there are a lot of Chinese and Korean fans.

The five-star red flag and the South Korean taeji flag were waved and fluttered by their respective fans in the stands.

As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of red in the stands - because the jerseys of the Chinese and South Korean teams are red. However, the Chinese team drew the home team sign in this game, so they can not only use the home team dressing room, but also wear the home jersey.

It's just that the home jersey of the Chinese team is not red, but white......

Therefore, although the Chinese fans wore red clothes, the traditional color of China, to cheer for the Chinese team, from the visual effect, it seemed that the whole stadium was full of fans of the Korean team......

Although the red of the Chinese team and the red of the South Korean team are not the same, the red of China is very positive, and the red of the Korean team is a little pink. But the distinction is not obvious enough.

In fact, many Chinese fans have complained about this - the traditional color of China is red, red also has the meaning of festive and flattering in the eyes of Chinese, and white will always be associated with death and funeral for Chinese, which is not very auspicious. But the Chinese national team has always insisted on using white as the color of their home jersey and red as the away team, and I don't know if it was the Football Association's brain problem, or Adidas didn't understand China's national conditions to make this design decision......

And there are many bad memories in the history of Chinese football that will have white jerseys, so now everyone thinks that the Chinese team is unlucky to wear white jerseys, and they will beat drums in their hearts.

Now that the game has not even started, everyone has seen the unlucky white again, and many people are scolding the Football Association and the shirt sponsors.

The captains of both sides quickly completed all the pre-match ceremonies, the players were in their places, and the game was about to begin.

The referee of the game, Roldane, blew the whistle and the game started on time.

Immediately after the whistle, there was a huge cheer from the stands.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team surprisingly did not choose the defensive counter-attack tactics they had been using before.

It's about aggressive ball control.

Zhou Yi is the heart of the Chinese team, and he is constantly running during the game, appearing in the vicinity of every teammate who picks up the team, answering whether his teammates will pass the football to him or not. In other words, if other Chinese players don't pass the ball to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi will run for nothing.

But this will not affect Zhou Yi to continue to do this.

As a core hub, that's what he has to do.

Of course, he did this for another purpose, which was to make it more difficult for defenders to defend. He kept running, he was in an uncertain position, and he was always able to create gaps in the opposition's defence.

In response to the characteristics of Zhou Yi's football, the South Korean team sent a person to defend Zhou Yi in this game. And this man is their captain, the core of the midfield who plays for Scottish Celtic, he is a midfielder who is both offensive and defensive, and has also performed well for Celtic.

At the same time, Ji Chengyong is also among the top ten most anticipated new stars of this Olympic Games selected by the British media.

In this South Korean team, in terms of midfield ability, I am afraid that only Ji Chengyong can be compared with Zhou Yi, and the others are not even qualified to compare.

No matter where Zhou Yi goes, Ji Chengyong will follow him, whether it is in the middle or on the side.

Koreans' super physical strength and tenacious will are perfect for doing this kind of thing.

This made Zhou Yi feel a little like Yang Muge defending himself at the beginning.

I have to say that Ji Chengyong is indeed a player with outstanding strength.

If Zhou Yi is replaced by other Chinese players, he may really be out of action by him.

But it's a pity that Ji Chengyong's opponent is Zhou Yi, who can lead Dortmund to win two league championships and reach the last four of the Champions League.

Under Ji Chengyong's watch, Zhou Yi still sorted out the Chinese team's midfield, he rarely let the football stay under his feet for more than three seconds, and such a thing almost never happened to him when he stopped the ball and watched again.

No matter what way the football is transmitted, after being stopped by him, it can be passed out again immediately, and other Chinese team players can be found accurately.

So Ji Chengyong really just ran with Zhou Yi, but it didn't have any impact on Zhou Yi's passing.

The South Korean commentator is still constantly praising Ji Chengyong's defense of Zhou Yi's "inseparable", thinking that Ji Chengyong played well. But Ji Chengyong himself knows very well in his heart that the effect is really not as good as he imagined......

Although Zhou Yi has not sent any threatening passes so far, Ji Chengyong does not think that it is his own credit. Maybe it's just because Zhou Yi doesn't feel the need to pass the threatening ball. Ten minutes into the game, the Chinese team only had one shot on goal, but this does not mean that the Chinese team is at a disadvantage, in fact, they have a higher possession rate than the South Korean team, Zhou Yi and his teammates are more horizontal and backward passes, such a back-to-foot.

Ordinary fans will seem to think that meaningless passes, but in the eyes of Ji Chengyong, the midfield brain of the South Korean Olympic team, these seemingly ordinary passes seem to be like spiders weaving webs, one in the east and one in the west, which seems messy and unclear, but in the end, it may weave a large web that makes it impossible for prey to escape.

In the fifteenth minute, Zhou Yi suddenly stopped passing, and when the football rolled towards him, he leaked directly behind him, and then suddenly turned around!

Ji Chengyong was caught off guard and was left behind by Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi must not be allowed to break through like this!

This was Ji Chengyong's idea of being squeezed behind by Zhou Yi, he reached out to pull, grabbed Zhou Yi's jersey, and pulled him to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded, foul!

At the same time, a free kick was given to the Chinese team 31 meters from the goal.

After the referee blew the foul of Ji Chengyong, he did not show a yellow card, not even a verbal warning, and Zhou Yi did not protest that the referee did not play the card, but got up from the ground by himself.

Everything was normal, but Ji Chengyong's chest rose and fell a little violently, as if he had just completed a 100-meter sprint. But in fact, Ji Chengyong's physical fitness class will definitely not be so bad, he gasped for breath just because he was a little afraid.

Zhou Yi's sudden turn was without warning, if he didn't stop this foul and let him break forward, what would be the consequences? Ji Chengyong, who played in Europe, knew very well.

Just when Ji Chengyong was afraid, the South Korean commentator said excitedly: "Ji Chengyong! His reaction was really sensitive, and he stopped Zhou Yi's breakthrough in time! He once again stifled the offensive intention of the Chinese team!"

But then, the South Korean commentator exclaimed - the free kick of the Chinese team was taken by He Ying, the player from the La Masia Academy kicked the football towards the goal, the football went around the human wall, flew towards the goal, and was blocked by the goalkeeper of the South Korean Olympic team, Zheng Chenglong, in front of the goal line.

Almost got in!

"It's dangerous!" exclaimed the Korean commentator.

"Oh! what a pity!" On the commentary seat, He Ping held his head in his hands.

Chinese fans in front of the TV also held their heads in their hands and shouted "I rely on".

He Ying also looked very regretful, but Zhou Yi gave him a thumbs up and signaled that he had played the ball beautifully.

"It's okay, we still have a chance!"

He shouted it in Chinese, and if it were changed to English, it is estimated that the foreign players of the Korean team would have rolled their eyes when they heard it - as if this game was your chance!

But Ji Chengyong may really have such worries......
