Qatar really didn't expect that they were chased back by the Chinese team in the second half when they were two goals ahead in the first half......

A draw didn't mean much to them, as the Central Asian side beat Kuwait 2-1 in Uzbekistan, which ended earlier, and at the same time sent Kuwait out of the tournament early, it also allowed them to qualify from the group early. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Qatar ends up drawing with China, China will get four points and they will only have one. Then in the final round of the group stage, as long as the Chinese team does not lose to Uzbekistan, no matter what the game between Qatar and Kuwait looks like, they will qualify from this group, while Qatar will be out of the group with Kuwait, the West Asian brothers.

This is certainly not acceptable to Qatar.

So after the game restarted, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, hoping to beat the Chinese team at the last moment.

And those who are familiar with Zhou Yi know very well that this situation is simply Zhou Yi's favorite!

In the eighty-seventh minute, Zhou Yi made a long pass in the backfield and accurately found Hao Junmin. The latter received the ball and ran wildly towards the Qatari goal. Then after entering the penalty area and attracting almost all the Qatari defenders, the ball was crossed.

Deng Zhuoxiang, who cut in from the other side, was completely unmarked, and in front of him, most of the goal was empty!

He faced the football, swept sideways, and the football rolled into the Qatari goal......

Undisputed, impeccable, and absolutely impossible to find fault with the textbook classic counterattack!

Referee Kim Dongjin can only point to the middle circle to indicate that the goal is valid!

In the 87th minute, Deng Zhuoxiang's goal killed Qatar!!" Liu Hong roared excitedly, although it was already two o'clock in the morning, but it did not scare anyone, because at this time in China, the fans were shouting louder than him.

Every fan knows what this victory means – they will qualify from the group early!

Four years ago, in 2007, when the Chinese team was eliminated from the group stage of the Asian Cup, I don't know how many fans smashed their teacups and TVs, vowing never to watch the national football team again. From the runner-up in the 2004 Asian Cup to the 2007 inability to even qualify from the group, in just three years, this huge gap is indeed not acceptable to everyone......

※※※

Deng Zhuoxiang ran wildly to the coach's bench and celebrated the goal with his teammates and coaches who were waiting there. His hair was wet against his forehead, and his face was smiling with excitement.

Behind him, there were Qatari players who were slumped on the ground.

Zhou Yi also ran to the coach's seat with his teammates to participate in the celebration.

He could hear the boos and curses of the Qatari fans in the stands, and he raised his fist to the stands with the loudest boos.

※※※

At the last moment, Qatar, which was behind, fought back like a desperate fightback, and the injury time was as long as six minutes.

However, the Chinese team still held on to their one-goal lead, and when South Korean referee Kim Dong-jin blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Chinese substitutes who had been waiting on the sidelines screamed and rushed onto the pitch to celebrate their elimination of the hosts on Qatari turf.

Liu Hong and every Chinese audience in front of the TV have a sense of pride.

And not just because the game was a comeback to win. What's more, in the process of the game, Qatar's various off-the-market moves really made them feel unhappy.

If this had been put aside, when they were two goals behind in the first half and suffered unfair treatment, the Chinese team might have given up, because it was really a crime to lose the game like this.

But this time, everyone saw a team that would not give up.

This is probably the happiest point for all the fans in front of the TV, if a game is just a win, it is nothing more than three points. But if there is more to this victory, it is a very different story.

Through this game, the Chinese team not only got three points and qualified for the qualification in advance, but also showed their completely different mental outlook.

※※※

Because China and Uzbekistan have both won two games, the two teams will join hands to qualify. In the eyes of some, China's last match against Uzbekistan was less important.

It's nice to be able to qualify from the group, so why think about more?

But Zhou Yi doesn't see it that way.

He still wants to try to win the group, and he doesn't do it to avoid Japan, because it's hard to say how many places they will finish in the group.

It's just out of the idea of "why do you want to win the second place in the group if you can get the first place in the group".

Japan beat Syria 2-1 in the second game of the group, and Jordan have four points each, and the same is true in terms of goal difference, so it's hard to say which team will finish in the end.

In fact, Uzbekistan has the same idea, wanting to win the first place in the group, not the second place in the group. The reason for this is simply to avoid Japan, which could be the top of the group.

As the most successful team in the history of the Asian Cup, Japan is still a great deterrent in Asian football, and it is an opponent that no one wants to face.

Therefore, in the third round of the group stage, the Chinese team and Uzbekistan actually played very intensely.

The striker who replaced Gao Lin in this game was Yu Hai, who opened the scoring for the Chinese team by receiving a pass from Zhou Yi in the opening six minutes.

However, in the thirtieth minute, Uzbekistan's Akhmedov equalized for his team.

Just one minute into the second half, Heinrich overtook Uzbekistan and took a 2-1 lead.

Ten minutes later, in the fifty-sixth minute, the Chinese team won a free kick in the right rib in front of the penalty area, Hao Junmin took the free kick, the football bypassed the human wall, and hung directly in the dead corner of the back point, and the goalkeeper of Uzbekistan could only look at the ball and sigh, watching the football fly into the goal.

The Chinese team equalized!

A stalemate ensued.

However, this score is beneficial to the Chinese team, if the score of 2:2 remains to the halftime, the two sides will be tied. So in the case that both teams have seven points, this Asian Cup is stipulated as follows - first compare the win-loss relationship between two teams with the same points, which is impossible to compare because the two teams are tied.

Secondly, let's look at the goal difference of the teams with the same number of points in each other's matches. Because of the draw, both teams were zero in this item, and it was also a tie.

Then look at the number of goals scored by teams with the same number of points in matches against each other. It's also two goals, it's still a draw, and it's hard to tell the winner.

Step 4: Look at the total goal difference of the teams with the same number of points in the group stage. In this regard, the Chinese team has an advantage, and this advantage comes from the unremitting efforts of Zhou Yi after the Chinese team led Kuwait by two goals in the first group stage, only in that game, the Chinese team had four goal difference, and the 3:2 against Qatar gave the Chinese team another goal difference, a total of five goal difference. And what about Uzbekistan? In the first game, they beat Qatar 2-0 and had two goal differences, and in the second game, they only beat Kuwait 2-1, adding up to only three goal difference, and they lost two goals to the Chinese team in goal difference.

Unless they beat China in this game, they will not be able to win the group anyway.

The Chinese team has a lot of tactical options.

When the situation is deadlocked, they are not in a hurry to attack, but patiently maneuver with Uzbekistan.

If Uzbekistan is not willing to settle for such a draw and wants to strengthen their attack to win the game, then Zhou Yi can directly threaten their goal with a long pass from the backfield.

Just like the last Qatar goal conceded in the last minute.

However, Uzbekistan has no choice, and if they don't attack and don't score, the draw is second in the group. Pressing out to attack, of course, the Chinese team may score again and lose the game, but losing the game is also second in the group, so the draw and loss are meaningless for Uzbekistan, they just need to win.

If you attack with all your might, you still have a chance to score and finally defeat the Chinese team and win the reversal.

So it's not a difficult choice question to make.

In the following time, the Chinese team is under tremendous pressure, but at the same time, there are opportunities in these pressures.

It's just that the Chinese team didn't grasp the ...... Of course, Uzbekistan did not score either.

In the end, the two teams drew with a score of 2:2.

The Chinese team won the first place in the group by virtue of goal difference, and Uzbekistan could only finish second in the group.

The next day, the final standings for Group B were also determined.

Japan commented on the score of the 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the last game, and also relied on goal difference to squeeze out Jordan and become the first in Group B.

In this way, if the Chinese team and the Japanese team want to meet, they really have to wait until the final - which was Zhou Yi's words.

Uzbekistan had the unfortunate fortune of facing a strong Japan in the first round of the knockout round.

The opponent of the Chinese team is Jordan.

To be able to qualify from the group naturally made Chinese fans very happy.

However, there are also many people who feel that with the strength of the Chinese team, they should have qualified from the group stage, which is not worth celebrating and rejoicing.

The two sides also quarreled on the Internet.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the Chinese team, and most people are already very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup.

Before the game, the Asian third-rate theory caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but in fact, the Chinese team's performance was quite satisfactory, so everyone didn't care much about what the Asian third-rate said, regardless of how many streams it said, as long as it could win. Victory is the last word!
