The strongest winger

Chapter 910 Final: The Battle of the Enemies (Third)
With two short and one long whistles sounded at the end of the game, all the Chinese fans in the stands shouted tacitly.

They used words to express their inner excitement. This victory allowed the Chinese team to enter the Asian Cup final again after seven years. They only need to win the last game to win the final championship. Thinking about it is very exciting!
Regardless of whether they face Australia or Japan next, the Chinese team has a huge psychological advantage.

The Chinese team was in the same group as Australia in the 2008 World Cup top [-] group match. At that time, the Chinese team double-beat Australia, and the Japanese team absolutely has nothing but fear and resentment towards the current Chinese team.

In 2009, the World Cup qualifiers at Yokohama International Arena, Japan's home stadium, were directly beaten by the Chinese team 4:0. Afterwards, in the final round of the group stage of the Asian Top Ten, as long as Japan drew with the Chinese team that qualified ahead of schedule, they could overwhelm North Korea and qualify for the World Cup.

In fact, Chinese fans hope that the opponent of the Chinese team in the final is Japan.

Because this powerful Chinese team is enough to beat any strong Asian team. If they can beat the Japanese team on the stage of the Asian Cup final to reach the top of Asia, it will definitely be a day of national celebration!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle, the players in front of the bench pushed across the sideline and frantically ran to the field to enjoy the victory of the game with the players on the field.

The Chinese players who were on the field embraced their teammates one after another.

Although the score of 3:0 is very eye-catching, it feels very relaxed.

In fact, the process of this game was still a bit difficult. It was only due to the tacit understanding and unremitting efforts between each other that they tore apart the tight defense line of the South Korean team and finally won the semifinals.

The mood of the Korean team that lost the game is generally not high, but this situation is also normal. The Chinese team, which used to be able to handle them casually, was able to kill them.

Especially the captain Park Ji-sung and the old international Lee Young-pyo, when they were young... really happy.

But...the good times are gone forever.

The on-site director immediately locked the camera on Ai Luo, who was the best player in the field. He Wei said excitedly: "The game is over! The game is over! The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 in the semi-finals. This game not only created the biggest difference between the scores, but Ai Luo also broke the Asian Cup single-term scoring record with nine goals! You must know that the Korean team that entered the semi-finals only scored eight goals in four games. An astonishing nine goals, so the Chinese team's ability to easily enter the Asian Cup final has an inseparable relationship with captain Ai Luo."

"What's even more commendable is that Ai Luo's goals are based on the overall performance of the Chinese team. From the beginning of the group stage to the final, the Chinese team scored a total of [-] goals. It is the most in this Asian Cup and also the team with the most goals in a single session in the history of the Asian Cup...Of course, these statistics will continue to be refreshed in the Asian Cup final. Let us once again congratulate the Chinese team for reaching the Asian Cup final for the third time in history. They failed to win the championship in the past two Asian Cup finals. Now the most powerful Chinese team in history will definitely take that golden Asian Cup. Take home the championship trophy!"

Countless fans watching the live TV broadcast silently clenched their fists and murmured: "Come on, it will work, my beloved Chinese team! Bring the champion home! We will wait for you!"

They really waited for this championship for too long. In 2004, Gongti was close to the Asian Cup champion, but because of the referee’s misjudgment, they could only miss the championship in the end, and the black history of Chinese football began.

Want to reach the Asian Cup final like now?
Dream it!

Captain Ai Luo, as the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's entry into the Asian Cup final, all the teammates walked towards him tacitly, hugged each other, and shared the joy of promotion, even the coaches were no exception...

Sitting in the VIP seat, Tang Shun, chairman of the Chinese XX Football Association, nodded with satisfaction, ecstatic in his heart.

Although he was not surprised that the Chinese team entered the Asian Cup final, after all, this is the result he achieved during his tenure, so when the Chinese team was determined to advance to the Asian Cup final, he was still excited...

The Galafah Stadium was completely reduced to a sea of ​​joy for Chinese players and fans, while South Korean players and fans chose to leave the field silently and hand over the field to the promoted Chinese team.

Five hours later, another Asian Cup semi-final at the Khalifa Stadium also came out. The Japanese team drew 10:0 with Australia within 0 minutes.

Just when everyone thought the game was likely to enter a penalty shootout, in the 109th minute of the game, Nagatomo Yasuhito caught Endo Yasuhito’s through ball on the left and suddenly accelerated to throw off the defender Neil’s cross.

In the end, the Japanese team defeated Australia 1-0 with Li Zhongcheng's lore goal and joined the Chinese team in the Asian Cup final.

This Asian Cup final is also a replay of the final of the Asian Cup in China seven years ago, but the process and results of the game are definitely different from seven years ago...

Because this Chinese team is much stronger than Japan, the former big brother in Asia. In addition, Ai Luo, who has always had a goal madman, basically doesn’t have to worry about scoring in the finals. However, the Japanese team has such a risk. Except for their 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the last round of the group, their victorious games are all small victories by one goal, and their offense is worrying.

And in terms of physical condition, the Chinese team is more ideal, because the Japanese team played 120 minutes in the semi-final against Australia, and their physical consumption is much more severe than that of the Chinese team. With almost the same rest time, the recovery of the Japanese team, which consumes more physical energy, is definitely not as ideal as the Chinese team.

In addition, the two teams have been fully inclined to the Chinese team in the last two contests, winning both games, scoring seven goals and conceding none.

When the Chinese players heard the end whistle in the hotel conference room where they stayed, they raised their arms and shouted at the same time. Compared with Australia as their opponent in the final, these young players are more willing to meet the Japanese team.

Thinking of the humiliation of the past years, and thinking of the historical grievances between each other, this Asian Cup final is like a battle for the Chinese team to completely defeat the Japanese team and become the number one brother in Asia.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the opponent in the Asian Cup final is the Japanese team. This time we must play well!" As a native of Liaoning, Chen Tao had no good impression of Japan since he was a child.

"It's not just about playing well? It's about kicking them completely! In the future, when you hear about the Chinese team, you will stay away!" Wang Xiaolei, another Liaoning native, echoed.

"Yes, what Xiaolei said is very correct, this Asian Cup final will definitely overthrow the Japanese team!"

Feng Xiaoting also joined the battle.

At this time, Ai Luo discovered... There are really many players from Liaoning in this national team.

No wonder the emotions are so excited one by one!

On the second day, the mainstream Asian media reports were all about the Chinese and Japanese teams that had advanced to the final of the Asian Cup.

Few countries on the planet do not know the historical grievances between China and Japan, and now they are meeting again on the stage of competing for the top of Asia. Even if those neutral media reporters use their toes to think about the problem, they know that it will definitely be a fierce competition. If there are some accidents, it is not impossible for a hot plot.

Reminiscent of the group stage of Group A of the Asian Top Ten Tournament of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Japan certainly does not have any good impression of China.

At that time, the Chinese team, which had already advanced to the finals, insisted on blocking Japan, so Japan could only participate in the play-offs. This hatred must be deeply buried in the hearts of Japanese players.

The so-called enemy must be extremely jealous when they meet each other.

Before the Japanese players expressed any confidence in winning, the Japanese media claimed: "The Chinese team in the final is very strong. There is no doubt about it, but we must face up to the fundamental iron law of the past [-] Asian Cups. Since the first Asian Cup, no team that has maintained a complete victory in the group stage has won the final championship. Is it possible that the Chinese team can break this exception? But I think this result is simply impossible..."

Regarding the Japanese media’s claim, the Chinese media gave the most direct response: “Every victory in the group stage is wrong? Hehe... But please keep your eyes open. Our Chinese team is not only excellent in offense, but also in defense. We have not conceded a goal in the past five games. Such a team that scored 17 goals in five games and conceded 0 goals will lose the championship? ?”

Indeed, the Japanese media immediately lost their voice when they were touched by the Chinese media.

So the Chinese media had no choice but to focus on the head coach of the Japanese team, Zaccheroni. They remembered that Zaccheroni had a bet with "Football News" reporter Qi Liuhai.

Zaccheroni did not feel any excitement when leading the Japanese team to the Asian Cup final, but frowned. Thinking of the bet with the Chinese reporter before the game, and thinking of the horror of this Chinese team, he regretted it...

A total of 3 goals were scored in five games, averaging 4 goals per game, and no goals were conceded. This is the scariest part.

6：0、2：0、2：0、4：0、3：0……

Judging from these scores, the Chinese team's offensive ability is very strong. Thinking of the Japanese team's defensive efforts in the past five games, it is really worrying.
