January 28th.

Ain.

6 p.m.

The Chinese team and the Japanese team met in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

At this point, neither Chinese fans nor Japanese fans who are mainly training soldiers can face the game with a relaxed and happy mood.

One step further is the final!

Although the ambitious Japan vs. Asian Cup is a training exercise, it does not necessarily mean that it does not matter to the champion.

Because the goal of military training is also to produce results.

It's just that the squad they came up with is roughly the framework of the World Cup in four years.

Veterans such as Shinji Okazaki, Shinji Kagawa, and Keisuke Honda, who competed in the World Cup half a year ago, all gave up!

Their era with the national team is over.

In terms of human resources, Japan is one of the most abundant and luxurious in Asia.

If players like Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki are placed in the Chinese team, they will inevitably be the main force in the Asian Cup, and they will even be expected to play in the next World Cup!

This is the gap in the talent pool.

It is not difficult to understand that China wants to take the route of naturalization.

Yoshiki Muto, who had just played in the Premier League, deliberately glanced at Ye Yifeng when he walked out of the players' tunnel, and the two nodded slightly.

It's a pity that Yoshiki Muto is on the bench today, and there is a lot of talent in Japan everywhere.

When the starters of both teams walked onto the pitch, the fans cheered enthusiastically.

Many local fans watched the game live and got a glimpse of the pinnacle showdown in East Asia.

The other semi-final is a match between the host United Arab Emirates and Qatar, West Asia.

The national anthem sounded.

The Chinese team will touch their hearts with their right hands and sing loudly.

The battle between China and South Korea in the group stage of this Asian Cup has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the Chinese team's small loss by one goal is still labeled as "embarrassing" by domestic outsiders, and there will be yin and yang weirdness such as "national shame" excessively.

And today's Sino-Japanese war will inevitably be the focus of attention of countless people outside the circle because of the emotions brought about by history and patriotism.

Sports are not mixed with politics, but they definitely have national boundaries and national positions.

In an interview before the game, Ye Yifeng said lightly: "Try to win the game, at least make the Chinese fans hold their heads high." ”

Instantly hit all social media in China!

This group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp enjoys the development dividend of a big country, and should also shoulder the responsibility of giving back to the fans.

The choice in front of the players is also very simple, do you want to be criticized by thousands of people after the game, or do you want to be honored?

Of course, their choices can only determine their ideological consciousness, but they cannot directly determine the outcome of the competition.

The result is spelled out!

"CCTV, CCTV, here is the scene of the semi-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates! I'm He Wei, the host of the live commentary, and my partner Xu Yangxu and I will be with you at the Ben Zayed Stadium in Ain to give you a live commentary on the semi-finals between China and Japan! ”

"Hello everyone, I believe that the ratings of today's game will reach the highest record of this Asian Cup, the battle between China and Japan, we have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"That's right, some fans have long expressed their expectation to see China and Japan fight, and today in the semifinals of the Asian Cup, it finally came true!"

"Maybe it would be better in the final."

"Hehe, the trend now is that East Asia and West Asia will each have a team in the final.

Let me introduce you to the starting lineup of the Chinese team today.

Lippi still adopts a conservative style of play, a formation of 442.

Goalkeeper: Yan Junling.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang, Jiang Zhipeng.

Midfielders: Wu Xi, Ye Yifeng, Huang Baiwen, Zheng Zhi.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning.

Japan coach Hoichi Mori also lined up with a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Shuichi Gonda.

Defenders: Hiroki Sakai, Kenhiro Fukuyasu, Maya Yoshida, Yuto Nagatomo.

Midfielders: Ritsu Doan, Hang Endo, Takeshi Shibasaki, Genki Haraguchi.

Forwards: Takumi Minamino, Yuya Osako.

Although the Japanese team has given up most of its veterans, the strength of the squad should not be underestimated. ”

"Yes, the number of foreign players in Japan has exceeded 300, and about one-tenth of them are active in Europe's top leagues and minor leagues, and this development momentum is very terrifying, maybe the national teams outside the top 20 in Asia can't even beat Japan's second and third teams, because the gap between Japan's second team and three teams is very small.

The Japanese team is now participating in the Asian Cup and has not gathered all the strongest players in the current team, such as Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, Takatoku Sakai, etc., these players have not been called up, and they have officially withdrawn from the national team.

Leave the stage to the young players and let the Japanese team prepare for the next World Cup earlier! ”

"This is the gap between the overall strength of football between the two countries, Japan has been ahead of other countries in Asia for at least 10 years, but today when it comes to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team will not be restrained.

The charm of football is that it needs a team, but it also breeds heroes!

Like Egypt, with Salah, it reached the World Cup again after 28 years.

Like Costa Rica, with Navas and Ruiz, they can be dark horses in the World Cup.

Like Wales, with Bale, Ramsey, can reach the semi-finals of the European Championship and equalle the best record in history.

And the Chinese team now has the best player in the world, Ye Yifeng!

That's why we dream of being a champion. ”

Mori Boichi stood on the sidelines and saw the Chinese team's starters, thinking that nothing had changed.

But as the game started, the Chinese team took the lead in the offensive, and his hairs stood on the sidelines!

When the two forwards of the Japanese team were counter-robbing, Ye Yifeng and Huang Baiwen collided with the wall and stepped forward directly, and after passing the middle circle, they faced Endo and Shibasaki Yue.

Before Ye Yifeng and Sun Xingmin were born, the Asian genius that the European media paid the most attention to ten years ago was none other than Endo Airlines.

To this day, it can't be said that Endo Hang is not like everyone, but after all, he has not lived like a superstar.

Endo and Shibasaki joined forces to block, and Ye Yifeng passed the ball straight through between the two.

After the ball is played, continue to move forward in front of the penalty area and deflect to the right.

Zhang Yuning kicked the ball horizontally.

Shibasaki went straight up in the diagonal chase.

Ye Yifeng touched the ball and knocked the ball behind him Chop changed direction, and made a sharp stop to cross cut.

Endo Hang was not in place yet, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning stepped forward, and Ye Yifeng shot directly with his feet.

The left-footed ball flew through an inside arc towards the far corner of the goal.

Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

Japan's goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda made a quick move to make a flying save and barely saved the ball off the line.

The Chinese fans in the stadium were extremely excited.

At least the opening Chinese team did not coerce.

Immediately made a threat.

Moriyasu slowly turned his head to look at Lippi.

Old fox, what do you want to do?!

The result of the last World Cup was that the Chinese team entered the round of 16 and was finally eliminated by Brazil.

And in the second half of the game against Brazil, Ye Yifeng's strength in the attack was remembered by Lippi.

When necessary, pushing Ye Yifeng's position forward is a risky option.

Maybe it's useless to play the world's strongest team, but then again, if you really meet the world's strongest team, no matter what the Chinese team does, will the result be different?

And Japan is really not a world powerhouse.

We are all in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The difference is that the Japanese team is stronger overall.

That's all.

If Ye Yifeng is in the midfield, the overall team of the Japanese team will play a role in the strength of the team, and the Chinese team will be bombarded indiscriminately.

Once the Chinese team can't threaten, it will become a lamb to the slaughter.

Need to put pressure on the Japanese team!

The core idea is that Endo Hang and Shibasaki Yue will definitely not be able to prevent Ye Yifeng in Lippi's heart!

Even against the upper leaf Yifeng will not suffer.

This is a disadvantage of Japan's inherent shortness.

The Chinese team took a tactical corner kick.

Ye Yifeng cut cross-cutting to the middle after receiving on the side, and encountered Endo Hang's direct foot on the bicycle and then accelerated the cross-cut, the opponent came to force the grab, Ye Yifeng protected the ball in advance, the two collided, Endo Hang didn't do anything to Ye Yifeng, and Ye Yifeng continued to find an angle in the cross-cut and hit the door with a heavy gun.

The ball was hit a little right, and Shuichi Gonda took a step to block the ball.

Popping off the line of the football, Wu Lei ran fast and looked like he was about to shoot, but he was still a beat slow when he lifted his leg, and the football flew 20 centimeters above his left foot.

Hollowed out.

Yoshida Ma also didn't know the situation behind him, and directly half-turned around and cleared the ball with a big foot.

Da Qiang Yong also tried to control the ball at the back of the center circle, and Wu Xi scrambled from behind to make Da Qiang Yong also lose his balance and fall to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle to punish Wu Xi for a foul, and Wu Xi expressed his dissatisfaction a little irritably.

Think you didn't commit a foul.

Whether there was a foul or not, he knew in his heart.

Lippi today brought Ye to the attacking midfielder position, with a back three behind him.

Ye Yifeng came to play the Asian Cup to get things done, so when he communicated with his teammates in training, he also taught his teammates the stalking tactics he learned at Atletico Madrid plus Manchester United's sniper tactics.

It can also be regarded as bringing back the "advanced" experience after going around European football by himself.

Japan started to possess the ball.

There is a shadow of the Spanish transmission and control wind.

But Spain have proven that this style of play is completely tricky if there is not enough talent for it.

Japan, on the other hand, seems to be obsessed with it, and is trying to make it bigger in Asia.

Even if they know in their hearts that they have fallen for Europe, the problem is that no one shows them a clear way, and if they simply pick and choose, isn't it a chicken feather?

The path I chose, I had to go down with tears.

After all, in the Asian arena, he can play a sense of technical and tactical superiority, pretend to be a full score, and he can also be a threat, as for the great goal of winning the World Cup, isn't there 32 years left? Leave the next generation to struggle.

The perimeter pass was thundering, and the Japanese team launched a strong attack from the left.

In the face of the Chinese team's tight defensive line, the Japanese team also insisted on delicate passing.

Genki Haraguchi, who is only one year older than Ye Yifeng, has become an all-round king, and in addition to the center, the back line and the goalkeeper, all other roles on the court can be competent.

Functionality catches up with the Chinese dragon king Ye Yifeng.

When he sent a diagonal ball down the left side of the field to find Takumi Minamino in front, the latter accelerated the ball past Feng Xiaoting and crossed the ball in front of the baseline.

Yan Junling attacked and cleared the ball first.

Osako also rushed into the goal and was almost able to shoot in one step.

The threat is visible.

The two teams fought in the front court, Ye Yifeng had just confronted Shibasaki Yue on his side, and Zhang Yuning stabbed the ball to the backcourt from Endo's side.

Zheng Zhi rushed forward and kicked the ball to send a through pass.

Ye Yifeng ran forward, and the Chinese team seemed to have a makeover, allowing the Japanese team to see what the real world's top propulsion speed is!

Ye Yifeng was dragged by Shibasaki Yue during the trip.

And then

He continued to dribble forward.

Shibasaki Yue found that the pull did not let the other party stop.

Just push harder!

Ye Yifeng didn't fall to the ground, but the ball was broken by Maya Yoshida.

Speed suffered.

The referee immediately blew the whistle for a foul on Shibasaki, and a yellow card was served.

Ye Yifeng did not complain, and silently set the ball.

After the Japanese team set up the human wall and the referee blew the whistle.

Ye Yifeng, who looked resolute, ran and blasted the ball out with confidence!

The whole world knows that he has a weird curling ball.

But this time he directly bombarded the door!

There is no angle to hit the wall blockade.

Take the far corner of the goal blocked by Shuichi Gonda station!

The ball hit like a meteorite flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, and Shuichi Gonda flew to save and touched the ball with the tip of his left finger.

Bang!

The ball hits the inside of the post under the crossbar and bounces into the goal!

The audience was shocked!

Moriyasu was dumbfounded!

They're all Asians, why are you so good?!
