host must win

Chapter 389

In addition to the three major news agencies, the domestic media and newspapers are also full of celebrations.Fans across the country rejoiced, and the media were full of praise.

In the game against Iran, the Chinese team shot a total of 21 shots, completely crushing the Iranian team's 5 shots.In terms of shots on target, the Chinese team also shot 10 times, which is a full five times that of the Iranian team.In terms of goals, it happened to be 5:5!

The reason why there is such a disparity in data comparison is not that the strength of the Chinese team has crushed the Iranian team, but because the Chinese team played one more player almost throughout the second half!
In fact, in the first half, when the numbers of the two sides were equal, the two teams were almost evenly matched. The Iranian team used double-team tactics to contain Yin Jun's performance very well.In the first half, the comparison of the number of shots between the two sides was only 3:2, the number of shots was 1:1, and the score was also 1:1!

However, with Zha Lei being sent off, the balance of victory is completely tilted towards the Chinese team.

It is precisely because of this that the Iranian team has always been worried about the final result, believing that it is the referee that determines the outcome of the game, rather than relying on the absolute strength of the Chinese team.

Iranian team star Madavikia fired at the referee in an interview after the game. He said: "The referee is too bad. We had a chance, but the referee is not fair at all. They favor China. We lost the promotion Qualification for the final is largely related to his poor performance."

Another player of the Iranian team, Gormuhammadi, also said: "The Chinese audience is very enthusiastic. The capital and all the Chinese are very friendly. I like it here. But on the contrary, the referees on the field are very poor. Everyone knows that they want China to win very much, so they made a lot of unfair penalties. If the law allows, I want to kill them, because they ruined Iran's dream of qualifying for the final."

………………

However, after defeating Iran 5:1 to advance to the Asian Cup final, the confidence of everyone in the national team has improved. Everyone has a strong desire and is full of high-spirited fighting spirit.

Entering the finals, and it is at the gate of your own home. Who doesn't want to leave the Asian Cup in the capital and in China?

The opponent in the final is Japan.Japan's performance in this Asian Cup is not convincing. It can be said that they were able to enter the Asian Cup final along the way. The only strong team they really encountered was Iran in the last game of the group stage.

But in fact, neither side tried their best in that game. Japan had already qualified ahead of schedule, and Iran could qualify with a tie.

The most controversial one was the knockout round of the quarterfinals, when Japan met Jordan. The two sides scored 120:1 in 1 points and entered the final penalty shootout.

The first player in Japan to take the penalty was Shunsuke Nakamura, the star of the country, and it turned into an anti-aircraft gun, and then the second one was Mito, who was still an anti-aircraft gun. On the other hand, Jordan hit two free throws and scored two points. The possibility of a ball fight is very high.

At this critical moment, the captain of Japan actually asked to change the venue. Such an operation is really jaw-dropping.

What is unbelievable is that the referee agreed, and what is even more funny is that the Sandu chief wanted to take the penalty again, but he gave up after being protested by the Jordanian players.

After changing the venue, Japan made consecutive penalty kicks, while Jordan was affected. The next three penalties were only one. , was eliminated.

Although Japanese coach Zico denied the pressure from the coaching staff after the game, Japan's behavior caused a lot of commotion. After the game, Jordan publicly accused the referee of being unfair and Japan's behavior, thinking that changing the venue was unprecedented.

But it is a pity that Japan finally entered the semi-finals, and eliminated Bahrain in the semi-finals in a thrilling manner.

Facing such a Japanese team, how could the Chinese team, which had just eliminated Iran in the semi-finals, have no idea?
Yin Jun can feel the determination of everyone in the team.

………………

As a much-anticipated men's football event, it is difficult for the Chinese team to come up with a champion with sufficient weight in history. The only championship honor before was just winning the East Asian Cup at the end of last year.

However, in stark contrast, the Chinese women's football team has won numerous honors, including seven consecutive championships in the Women's Football Asian Cup!
When many people mention men's football, they will compare women's football, which makes men's football always have a feeling of being unable to lift their heads.

With the Chinese men's football team appearing in the World Cup finals for the first time two years ago, and the rise of Yin Jun in the following two years, he even became the youngest European Golden Globe winner in history, which made Chinese fans love China. The hope of the men's football team is even greater.

And this Asian Cup has attracted the attention of the Chinese people.

Yes, not only Chinese fans are paying attention to this tournament, but almost most Chinese people are paying attention to the Asian Cup!
This is the charm of football as the first sport!
………………

When Yin Jun and his teammates took the bus to leave the Gongti Stadium and returned to the hotel, they found that there were still countless fans gathered outside the stadium. When they saw the international players board the bus, everyone shouted loudly.

They are calling on the international football team to make persistent efforts and win the Asian Cup.

Their cries were full of longing, full of anticipation.

There were even many fans chasing after the bus, shouting and chasing until they couldn't run anymore.

The hotel is not far from the stadium. Fans wearing Chinese jerseys can be seen everywhere along the way. When they saw the team bus, they shouted loudly. Even at the traffic lights at the intersection, many drivers He poked his head out of the car window and shouted loudly: "Come on, Chinese team! The Chinese team will win!"

Inside the bus, the international players were deeply moved.

This group of people may scold the national football team a lot on weekdays, but they hate iron and steel. When it comes to the critical moment, they support the Chinese team more than anyone else, because this is a team representing more than one billion Chinese people.

Many fans gathered at the entrance of the hotel, they were all shouting loudly, cheering for the national football players.

From the stadium to the hotel, the short journey made the national football players deeply feel the enthusiasm of the domestic fans.

Even after returning to the room, everyone was still deeply immersed in that atmosphere, and it was difficult to leave.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team really needs a championship.

At this time, the Chinese team could either hold on to the pressure tenaciously and continue to move forward, or just shrink back and fail.

Yin Jun knew very well in his heart that no matter from which angle he looked at it, the Chinese team had to grab the championship.

In any case, you can't lose to Japan in the final and give up this championship!
