Chapter 1467, the strongest opponent!

"Dear Huaguo fans and friends, hello everyone, welcome to watch Sports Channel 5, I am your old friend Li Feixiang."

"Hello everyone, I'm Sun Jihai."

"Today is Saturday, January 31, the day of the Asian Cup final. Tonight, the Chinese team will welcome their last opponent in this Asian Cup - the Japanese team! With just one more win, they will make history and become Asian champions! ”

Looking at the warm-up players on the field, Li Feixiang was excited: "Thinking back to the 2004 Asian Cup, it seems like yesterday, eleven years ago, we also went all the way to the final, and we also faced the Japanese team, but unfortunately, we lost." ”

Sun Jihai next to him shook his head: "We didn't lose, we just lost." ”

Li Feixiang was stunned for a moment, and Sun Jihai explained: "Defeat is the result, and not losing is the process." We were evenly matched with Japan in that game, and we were 55 points on the field, but we were unexpectedly behind because of a handball goal by Koji Nakata of Japan. Even so, we came on a tight pitch and were one step away from an equaliser. However, Japan evaded another foul and scored the third goal through Keiji Tamada. ”

Li Feixiang nodded: "That's right, before the third goal, I remember that you were dribbling the ball on the edge of the Japanese team's penalty area, and you were about to insert it into the penalty area, but you were fouled by the Japanese team players and put down." However, the referee did not say anything, and the Japanese team took the opportunity to sneak attack. ”

Sun Jihai frowned, still unwilling: "If that foul can be correctly punished, the Asian Cup championship of the Chinese team will not wait so long." But now, we're only 90 minutes away from winning the Asian Cup! ”

Li Feixiang also nodded: "That's right, I am also full of confidence in this game!" The Chinese team showed a world-class level in this tournament, and we were able to easily beat Australia and South Korea, and we were able to beat Japan today! ”

In the live broadcast room, the two reminisced about eleven years ago and looked forward to the upcoming championship, and at this time in the locker room, the players were making final preparations and were about to play.

Yun Sheng looked at the players, and after a moment, he smiled slightly: "I looked at each of you just now, and you all trembled slightly. At first I thought you were scared, but you can tell from your faces that you are excited! Our disciples, how can they be afraid of Little Japan?! ”

"Oh oh oh!" The players shouted excitedly, rolled up their arms and sleeves as if they were going out to fight.

Yun Sheng pressed down with both hands and signaled everyone to calm down: "Your strength is far superior to that of the Japanese team, I know very well that I am not worried about your competitive competition in this game." However, we had some trouble in the last two games and had unfair decisions. I don't want to speculate on the referee's behavior, I just think we're a little unlucky. ”

"I have only one request for you in this game, which is to control your emotions and not to have unnecessary card behavior. You must know that more than half of the sponsors of the AFC are from Japan, and the AFC will definitely consider their emotions, and we will have more difficulties in this game! ”

"Boys, there are still 90 minutes left, and our Asian Cup journey is over! I hope that after 90 minutes, we will be able to let the five-star red flag fly on the stadium, and let the Chinese fans celebrate and rejoice for us! ”

The Chinese players were excited, they were high-spirited, and rushed to the court!

This final showdown has begun!

"With the referee's whistle, the game begins!"

"Today is the final battle of this Asian Cup, the Chinese team against the Japanese team. Both of these teams are among the best teams in Asia, especially in the last decade or so, both teams have improved rapidly, and the vast majority of the current starting line-ups of both sides are playing in Europe. ”

Japan's Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa are the core of Japan's midfield, playing for AC Milan and Manchester United respectively, and the two form the core of the Japanese team's front line. Shinji Okazaki, Takashi Kan, Makoto Hasebe, Takatoku Sakai and several other players all play in the Bundesliga, and they are very familiar with each other. Left-back Yuto Nagatomo is Inter Milan's main left-back, and his strength should not be underestimated. This Japanese team is very strong overall. ”

"Keisuke Honda escaped Wang Chuhe's compulsion! Spread horizontally to Shinji Kagawa! ”

Shinji Kagawa suddenly stepped forward with the ball! Huang Bowen followed him closely! ”

"Straight into the box! Shinji Okazaki forcibly kicks up! ”

Wang Dalei blocked the ball with his foot! The Juventus goalkeeper has made a meritorious service! ”

"This time, the Japanese team turned on the wing attack mode from the left side!"

"The pass of Yasuhito Endo and Keisuke Honda! Keisuke Honda suddenly picks up a pass forward! ”

"Yuto Nagatomo suddenly stepped forward! He received the ball! Zhang Chengdong and Nagatomo Yu are all fighting together! ”

"Yuto Nagatomo forcibly takes a long shot! The ball is wide of the goal! ”

In the first ten minutes, Japan organized two very threatening attacks in a row.

Many of the players on the pitch play for the same club and are very familiar with each other.

For example, Yuto Nagatomo and Zhang Chengdong, who just fought on the side, are the left and right fullbacks of Inter Milan, and they cooperate very well with Inter Milan, and both of them are also very diligent and good offensive and defensive players. The pair were facing each other on the flanks today and sparked from the start.

There are also Huaguo captain Zheng Zhi and Japanese core Keisuke Honda, the two are AC Milan players, and they often play in the midfield in the club on weekdays, but today Zheng Zhi withdrew to the central defender position, he is mainly responsible for marking Keisuke Honda, and the confrontation between the two AC Milan teammates is very fierce.

In the front court, Dong Fangzhuo and Shinji Kagawa are Manchester United teammates, and the two are attacking partners at Manchester United, but today they are fighting separately and both appear in the position of shadow striker.

With top technology and familiarity with the opponent, the Japanese team is definitely the strongest opponent of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup!

Looking at the midfield cooperation of the Japanese team, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was a little anxious.

Now the Japanese team not only has the technical flow of Brazil, but also because of the many Bundesliga players, the Japanese team has the discipline that is unique to German football.

There is skill, there is discipline, such a Japanese team is simply too strong!

In the opening 20 minutes or so, the Japanese team controlled the midfield advantage, and even though the Chinese team had the Arsenal Three Musketeers, it was still difficult for them to take back the midfield control from the Japanese team.

In the 26th minute of the game, Japan played a wonderful attack.

Huang Bowen controlled the ball in the midfield, and he suddenly stepped forward, wanting to increase the number of attacking players in the midfield.

Pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo! Dong Fangzhuo quickly ran to answer!

But at this moment, Shinji Kagawa suddenly appeared on the passing line!

The Japanese team broke the ball! The backfield of the Huaguo team is empty! It's dangerous!
