Football: Stealing talent endlessly starting from Real Madrid!

The Chinese national football team successfully qualified from the group as the first place. In fact, before these Asian Cups, the Chinese national football team had never been optimistic.

But no one expected that they could emerge from this group with a crushing momentum.

Originally, the fans' requirements for the Chinese national football team were to qualify from the group, and getting the second place would be enough, but they did not expect that they not only qualified as the first place, but also played every game excitingly, which made the fans talk about it with relish.

So many people began to look forward to this session of the Chinese national football team, whether they can win the final trophy after having players like Li Chu.

However, the most urgent task is to deal with the first obstacle.

The Chinese national football team needs to cross the host Australia before they can talk about whether they can win the championship.

In fact, many experts and football media people are also analyzing in their respective columns.

Although this Asian Cup is the first time that Australia has joined the AFC and participated in such a large-scale intercontinental cup in Asia.

So according to the international ranking, Australia is classified in the second tier.

But in fact, the strength shown by Australia is absolutely top-notch.

In fact, the two teams in Group A, Australia and South Korea, are both very strong. No matter who comes to face the Chinese national football team, it is a headache for the Chinese national football team.

Needless to say, South Korea has a problem of fear of South Korea for many years.

As the host, Australia is also very strong. In the end, it lost to South Korea 0:1, which gave up the first place in the group. However, many experts analyzed that Australia may use this method to select opponents.

From the scene and strength, Australia is not worse than South Korea.

In this half, the strength of most teams is actually slightly weaker than the opponents they met after qualifying after getting the first place.

In addition, there are many players in the Australian team who play in high-level European clubs or have played in high-level European clubs.

For example, Tim Cahill, a veteran in the Australian team who is now over 35 years old.

This is also a veteran who has played for Everton in the Premier League for many years.

He was once selected in the top 50 of the Golden Ball Award.

Of course, he left the Premier League a few years ago and now plays for the New York Red Bulls.

Although his ability has declined a lot compared to his peak period, he may still be able to play a certain role at critical moments.

Australia's goalkeeper is Ryan, a young goalkeeper who plays for Bruges.

Media predictions prove that the 22-year-old goalkeeper is expected to start in this game. He also played very well in this cup, only conceding two goals in three games.

Another substitute goalkeeper also plays for the German giants Dortmund.

Australia's defense is also insufficient. The 27-year-old central defender Frantic plays for Torpedo Moscow. The 23-year-old central defender Davidson plays for West Bromwich Albion in the English Championship.

As for the defensive backbone, Milligan, 29 years old. This is also a player that domestic fans are very familiar with, because he used to play for Shanghai Shenhua, and his grenade-like substitution ball is also his signature move.

In fact, this person has good ability. He once tried out at Arsenal. Professor Wenger once told Milligan that he has the ability to play as a starter in a mid-to-lower-level Premier League team.

If it weren't for the labor permit issue, he would have played in the Premier League long ago.

There is also midfielder Jedinak who plays for Crystal Palace. Kruse who plays for Leverkusen in Germany.

It can be said that the strength of the lineup on paper is much stronger than that of the Chinese national team.

Therefore, after a detailed analysis, the media and fans found that the performance level of the Chinese national team in this Asian Cup was already quite good, but they did not expect to meet such a strong opponent at the beginning of the knockout round.

This also casts a shadow on the Chinese national team's trip to the Asian Cup this time. Of course, if they can get through this level, the next game will be much easier to play.

Of course, this game is not without benefits. On the one hand, the veteran and captain of the team, Zheng Zhi, will be able to return from the ban, and Li Chu can also play again.

In the last game, Haigang goalkeeper Yan Junlin, who replaced Wang Dalei, played quite well and shut out North Korea. Therefore, head coach Perrin also planned to let Yan Junlin start in the game against Australia.

Wang Dalei had nothing to say about this, after all, he played two games and lost four goals.

Although he also saved two penalties, he was criticized by fans and experts because of the problem of his position.

Penalties are not common, but a goalkeeper with poor position sense is also a fatal weakness.

So after entering the knockout stage, it is estimated that if it comes to a penalty shootout, Perrin will put WangDalei came on. Normally, Yan Junlin would be the main goalkeeper.

At the pre-match press conference, Pei Lan brought veteran Zheng Zhi to attend. The press conference was not Li Chu that the reporters wanted to see.

But this also made the reporters lose interest.

Zheng Zhi is almost 40 years old, and the reporters can't dig out any information from him at all.

What he said was a standard template.

Only young and energetic people like Li Chu would be tricked by reporters and make explosive headlines.

This should also be a kind of protection for Li Chu by head coach Perrin.

In this game, Perrin made a major adjustment in the starting lineup.

Jiang Peng was abandoned, Perrin used Messi to play left back, pulled Zhang Wu to the central defender, and Zhang Chengdong played right back.

Of course, Messi also played this position in the club, of course he should be more defensive.

Mainly because Jiang Peng is too short. Although the position of winger needs to be able to get started in modern football, and the attacking attributes and even defense are more important, physical fitness is naturally very important in the face of Australia's powerful kicking style.

In the midfield, Wu Xi and Zheng Zhi are double defensive midfielders to protect Li Chu.

Forward Wu Sanshi is on the right, Jixiang is on the left, and Feiji is in the middle.

Australia arranged the same 433 formation, with the first three forwards being No. 10 Kruze, No. 4 Cahill, and No. 7 Matthew Leckie.

It was also full of elites.

There was a small episode before the start of this game. Since the host Australia participated in this game, the local Australian fans were also very enthusiastic and came to watch the game.

This also made it impossible for the Yan Guo team to turn the away game into the home game of the Yan Guo team like the previous games.

And the organizer restricted the entry of Yan Guo fans.

Many fans did not buy tickets.

In the end, only the away team's fans' stands were completely occupied by red, with only a few spots of red in the rest of the place.
