Chapter 642 : Li Zihan: We will make history!
The news that the Japanese team was eliminated was even hotter than the news that the Chinese team eliminated the Australian team two days ago. Everyone was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese team, which has the highest call to win the championship, was eliminated in this way, and was still defeated by the United Arab Emirates.Although the United Arab Emirates ranks higher than the current Chinese team in the world, it ranks No.60.

But they are not actually a strong team. The only honor in their history is to win the Gulf Cup in [-].In the previous Asian Cup matches, they failed to qualify for the group stage. Even in [-], they didn't even pass the group stage, and they were hung up on the qualifiers.

Such a team actually killed the Japanese team, which is the biggest player in Asia, and the Japanese team with the most main force! !
The media also printed Li Zihan's sentence "They (the Japanese team) became deserters!" as a headline.

On the other side, there was also a small upset. The West Asian powerhouse Iran was eliminated by Iraq.Like the Japanese team, the two teams entered the penalty shootout with a score of [-] to [-], and then Iran and Iraq scored penalties until the seventh round, and finally Iraq won [-] to [-] in the penalty shootout.

In this way, the South Korean team, which defeated the Uzbekistan team, will have a contest with Iraq in the semi-finals, and the Chinese team will fight against the United Arab Emirates, which miraculously defeated the Japanese team.The winners of the two games will go to the finals, while the losers will go to the third and fourth finals.

The media and the Internet fully believe that this year's Asian Cup should be the meeting between the old enemies of the South Korean team and the Chinese team in the final.Because although Iraq unexpectedly eliminated Iran, it is obvious that they will not be South Korea's opponents.

And the current Chinese team is not the previous Chinese team. Facing the UAE, they have great hopes of winning.Especially when Li Zihan was in such a hot state.

Three days later, the final results came out.

The South Korean team once again came to a two-to-zero victory over the Iraqi team.The Chinese team also won, and they won very easily, beating the United Arab Emirates [-]-[-].

Among them, Li Zihan scored one goal, but contributed two assists. All three goals were inseparable from him, which shows his importance in the Chinese team.

In this case, the Asian Cup final will be a battle between China and South Korea.

This makes the Chinese fans very excited, because they are very happy whether they are facing the Japanese team or the Korean team.Even though this has something to do with history and politics, they don't even want to meet the West Asian team.
So after the results of the game came out, many media websites gave out data reports, analyzing which team was more likely to win the championship.

But the final result is a [-]-[-] split between the two sides, because the Chinese team is playing very well now. Although Li Zihan is the only player in the team who is well-known in international football, other players who are not famous are not playing well. Poor players such as Wu Lei, Wang Shangyuan, Gao Lin, and Zhang Linpeng.The main thing is Li Zihan, he has too many variables, if the state comes, it will be no problem for one person to single out a team.

On the other side of the South Korean team, their overall strength is more even, and their cooperation is more tacit.There is also Sun Xingmin, a powerful player who has flourished in the Bundesliga, and Cha Duli, Ji Sungyong, Ji Dongyuan, Gu Zizhe and other players with good abilities to support him, his strength should not be underestimated.In Asia, when it comes to the overall strength of the team, Japan is number one and South Korea is number two.

So everyone is looking forward to this confrontation between China and South Korea. Of course, if Chinese fans saw the Korean team in the past, they would definitely be sad.

At the Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand on December 32, [-], the Chinese team lost [-]-[-] to South Korea. In the following [-] years, the Chinese team was invincible against South Korea in international A-level competitions until [-]. On February [-], [-], the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team [-]-[-] in a thrilling match.However, the outside world generally believes that the [-] Barcelona Olympic qualifiers were the beginning of "Koreaphobia".

The so-called "Korea-phobia" has in fact been caused by the Chinese themselves for a long time, and it has formed a psychological shadow over time.

But once this psychological shadow is broken, no one is afraid.

The main reason is that the performance of the new Chinese team established by Perrin on the court has given the fans confidence. They believe that their team can completely compete with the Korean team!
Before the final, the match for the third and fourth places started first, with the war-torn Iraq playing against the UAE team, a local tycoon in the Middle East.

In the end, the rich team had the last laugh. The UAE narrowly beat Iraq with a score of 4 to [-], and finally won the third place in this Asian Cup, while Iraq won No.[-].

The match time for this final was set to start at 31:[-] pm on January [-], Beijing time, at the Australian Stadium in Sydney.

There are still two days before the start of the game, both the South Korean team and the Chinese team are making final preparations intensively.

Li Zihan said in an interview with reporters: "Our goal? We have reached the finals, and it is obvious that we are the champions. Under such circumstances, only people with a mental illness will not focus on the championship! What? The Chinese team played against South Korea The historical record is not good? Come on, you said that it is a historical record, and the historical record is history. We will not forget the history, but there is no need to live in the history, because from now on, we will create a new history! !"

Li Zihan's words immediately hit the headlines. Unexpectedly, what everyone was very interested in was the previous swearing, but the latter sentence.

"Li Zihan: We are going to create a new history!!"

This title coincidentally appeared on the headlines of many media, very domineering.It not only reflects Li Zihan's expectations for this game, but also shows Li Zihan's vision for the future of the Chinese team.

At least the Chinese fans are very satisfied with this passage, while the Koreans are not very pleasing to the eye.

Korean midfielder Ji Sung-yong said in an interview with the media: "Lee is strong, but the Korean team is even stronger, so our Korean nation will win in the end. Win the championship!"

Veteran Cha Doo-ri said: "There is no doubt about Lee's ability, but football is not a one-person sport. I believe this game will definitely be a tough game, but the final champion is the South Korean team!"

The Korean genius Sun Xingmin, who is now in the limelight in Europe, said: "Lee said that the championship belongs to them? Then let it go. You must know that the game is not just about words. We will let He saw the gap between Korean football and Chinese football with his own eyes, and they still have something to learn!"

Sun Xingmin was very unhappy, and he had reason to be unhappy.Before the start of this Asian Cup, Sun Xingmin vowed in front of the media that he would win the Golden Boot of this Asian Cup.Although he faces opponents such as Li Zihan who is as famous as Messi and Ronaldo in European football, as well as Shinji Kagawa, who was once the first brother in Asian football, Keisuke Honda who transferred to top giants AC Milan, and like him Bundesliga Shinji Okazaki and Australian veteran Cahill.But South Korea's Flying Wing Sun Xingmin is still very confident. He believes that he can score at least five or six goals in this Asian Cup. If the South Korean team reaches the final, other candidates are almost three or four goals. between.

But actually?The reality gave him a big mouth. So far in this Asian Cup, the South Korean team has played a total of six games. He Sun Xingmin started every game, and four of them played all 10 minutes of the game. Full seven 10 minutes or more.

So how many goals has he scored now?
It was so embarrassing that he, Sun Xingmin, almost found a hole in the ground and got into it.

zero! !No goal scored.
This is the data his Xiao Sun handed over, even the Chinese team's Wu Lei and his teammate midfielder Ji Chengyong are not as good.
But fortunately, Koreans have a natural national talent - "really thick-skinned!"

So he quickly put this embarrassment behind him, and turned to the final champion.

So when he heard Li Zihan pointing at the champion, he felt uncomfortable.

This kind of situation is naturally what the reporters like to see. There is no sense of gunpowder in this World Cup. There is no inter-space scolding between teams and players. This is very uncomfortable for the reporters. of.

Can a game without scolding be called a football game?How do you call us to write a manuscript? !
What sparked a little bit was that the teams of East Asian countries represented by Japan, South Korea and China expressed their dissatisfaction with the AFC and the teams of West Asian countries, thinking that they had been treated unfairly.
So when he heard that Sun Xingmin intended to shoot at Li Zihan, he immediately added fuel.

"Korean team striker Sun Xingmin said that the championship will eventually be the Korean team!"

"Sun Xingmin: I will tell Li during the game that football games are kicked out, not blown out!"

"South Korean striker Sun Xingmin challenged Lee. The final has not yet started, and the two sides are already on the verge of fighting!"

The media has always been like this, lest the world will not be chaotic!

Some media immediately asked Li Zihan what he thought of Sun Xingmin's words.

That's what Li Zihan said.
"Who? Sun Ximin? Sun Xingmin?? Who is he? What did he say?"

Then naturally it was a battle in the air.

"Li Zihan: Who is Sun Xingmin?"

"Li Zihan expressed disdain for Sun Xingmin!"

"Sun Ximin, Sun Xingmin, Li Zihan can't tell the difference"

The conversation between Li Zihan and Sun Xingmin that was packaged by the media naturally kicked off the final.
